A mass of school shootings. Prison riots of unprecedented brutality. Mind-boggling acts of violence in every state. Four Days Ago the murders increased ten-fold. Three days ago the President addressed the nation and begged for calm and peace. Two days ago the killers began to mobilize. Yesterday all the power went out. Tonight....

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 7,794
At first, it looks like a disease. An epidemic that spreads through no known means, driving its victims mad with memories of a life they never lived. But the force that’s sweeping the world is no pathogen. It’s just the first shock wave, unleashed by a stunning discovery - and what’s in jeopardy is not our minds but the very fabric of time itself. In New York City, Detective Barry Sutton is closing in on the truth - and in a remote laboratory, neuroscientist Helena Smith is unaware that she alone holds the key to this mystery...and the tools for fighting back.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 286
Seven years ago, suspense novelist Andrew Thomas' life was shattered when he was framed for a series of murders. The killer's victims were unearthed on Andrew's lakefront property, and since he was wanted by the FBI, Andrew had no choice but to flee and to create a new identity. Andrew does just that in a cabin tucked away in the remote wilderness near Haines Junction, Yukon. His only link to society is by email, through which he learns that all the people he ever loved are being stalked and murdered.

Remember the twin golden rules of hitchhiking? #1: Don't go hitchhiking, because the driver who picks you up could be certifiably crazy. #2: Don't pick up hitchhikers, because the traveler you pick up could be certifiably crazy. So what if, on some dark, isolated road, Crazy #1 offered a ride to Crazy #2? When Blake Crouch and Jack Kilborn face-off, the result is a terrifying tale of hitchhiking gone terribly wrong. Like a deeply twisted version of an "After School Special," SERIAL is the single most persuasive public service announcement on the hazards of free car rides.

Judge Raymond Fawcett has just become number five.... Nothing is as it seems and everything’s fair game in this wickedly clever new novel from John Grisham, the undisputed master of the legal thriller.

Fab Cautionary Tale
Where does Famous: A Novel rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I read a lot of Blake Crouch, this is a great listen
Any additional comments?
This is a shorter audio book. I only purchased it because I trust Blake Crouch for consistent thrills when I'm in the mood for this kind of genre. I went into the story straight away. I will just say that I am not into 'celebrity' or that kind of thing and it really didn't matter, this story was so interesting I just kept listening. I love his play on the behavior of real celebrities behind the facade and that is how our main character slips into his new identity - brilliant. I also love the ending. I got sucked in straight away, its like one of those trashy movies you can't stop watching.
BC is my favourite literary junk food and I am not ashamed, not one bit!

A different kind of creepy fun
I didn't know what to expect. The basic premise seems obvious from the beginning and yet still feels creepy as it plays out. The story is well worth a read/listen.

Blake is as good or better than Stephen King.
Another great story from Blake. I've read all his books and between Blake and Stephen King I just have to wait for the next book. I know Blake has one he just finished. I'll just have to wait. I think I can read them all again.

Not one of his best
Not bad, but pretty predictable and mot like his other, absolutely, fast paced books. Lazy Sunday read.
