Fool Me Twice

A Novel

By: Jeff Lindsay

Narrated by: Braden Wright

Pulling off an impossible crime is the only way he can stay alive.

Stealing a Faberge egg. Surviving a double cross. And pulling off the most incredible robbery ever, for the world’s most demanding—and dangerous—collector.

This will be the challenge of thief extraordinaire Riley Wolfe’s life.

Held prisoner by a top-dog international arms dealer, and a top-notch art collector, Riley has to steal an artwork. Small problem—it’s a fresco, “The Liberation of St. Peter.” Slightly larger problem—it’s in the Vatican.

And, it's a literal wall.

Riley has no choice: agree or die. But when his captor turns him loose, he finds even more dangerous criminals waiting to ensnare him, threatening his life and the life of the woman he loves. The threat is clear. Riley knows they both have only one way out.

With wicked dialogue, tons of explosive twists, and cinema-worthy scenes, Jeff Lindsay’s Fool Me Twice is a wildly entertaining caper starring an antihero you’ll root for, Riley Wolfe.

Critic reviews

Praise for Fool Me Twice
“A warning: don’t start reading Fool Me Twice at bedtime unless your reading mantra is 'Just one more chapter . . . just one more chapter!'"—NY Journal of Books

“Watching Wolfe plan and execute his daring caper is pure pleasure.”—Adam Woog, Seattle Times

“This frequently funny, always inventive, often quite dark thriller will delight fans of Lindsay’s bestselling Dexter series and the hit TV show it inspired.”—BookPage

“Readers looking for a page-turner won’t be disappointed.”—Publishers Weekly

“A rousing caper novel.”—Booklist

“A well-written, complex, tension-filled yarn.”—Bruce DeSilva, Associated Press

“A nearly breathless rush involving perhaps the most ingenious heist ever conceived…some of the most fun I had reading this entire year. As much as I want Jeff Lindsay to resurrect Dexter Morgan, I just love Riley Wolfe and cannot wait to spend more time with him. For those readers who are about to pick up Fool Me Twice, I envy the thrill ride you will be going on!”—Bookreporter

Too much nonsense.

This is a good story ruined by way too many words that add nothing to it. Some humor is good in adventure but the author carries it to the ridiculous. I’m fine with colorful language but too much of it sounds like kids who just discovered the f word. An exciting idea executed poorly by the author. Good narration though.

A Tongue in Cheek Adventure

This story includes tongue-in-cheek humor, which I enjoyed once I realized it was true to the main character. I was always guessing at what the final result would be.

much better

much better performance with a pro reading. Lindseys books are great, but himself reading ruined the experience. more enjoyable this time. I did guess the ending though. Too much Dexter experience I suppose.

Not that great.

Did not like the excessive violence, people were killed who didn’t need to be killed. Story drug on when it could have been shorter. Won’t read this author again.

Excellent Storyline

Excellent story and wonderfully performed. I would recommend a listen. From the start to finish the story was well paced. The end was well, hmmm fool me twice 😏
