“The plot twists will give you whiplash.” –Washington Post Read the #1 New York Times bestselling thriller Invisible, then continue the series with Unsolved.

FBI researcher Emmy Dockery is obsessed with finding the link between hundreds of unsolved cases. All she has are the newspaper clippings that wallpaper her bedroom—no motives, no murder weapons, no suspects. That is, until she finds a piece of evidence she can’t afford to ignore. Could one person be invisibly connected to these unthinkable crimes?

“Top-drawer crime fiction ... tough on the hero, but the hero is tough.” –Kirkus Reviews

Loved it

Could not put it down. Totally different than any book of its kind. I won't say more as to not spoil it. I totally enjoyed it.

CREEPY...GOOD?

The story was very good and kept me guessing almost until the end. It was however extremely graphic. If you are faint of heart, not so much for you. I told someone, "It is so disgusting but I can't stop listening. I want to know what happens."

Very predictable

The book will hold your attention, however, it's extremely predictable. I loooove James Patterson and will always take a chance with his books. This one wasn't one of his best. Midway through I just wanted to know was my guess correct about the ending, so it became more about knowing if I was correct or not than the story. I expected more from him.

Love Patterson not the narrator!

What did you like best about Invisible? What did you like least?

The book had a good plot and the plot twist was interesting. I was not impressed with the voice talent. January LaVoy could have done different voices better and Kevin Collins seemed way to "theatre". He's playing a serial killer but he sounded more like a contrived fake laughable villian.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Graham...couldn't relate to his character with the voice chosen. Seemed to contrived.

Would you be willing to try another one of January LaVoy and Kevin Collins ’s performances?

January LaVoy, maybe...Kevin Collins, probably not.

Did Invisible inspire you to do anything?

No

From Boring to Exciting

What did you like best about Invisible? What did you like least?

The first third of this book was so trite, predictable and boring I almost gave up on it. It did pick up, however, and the last half was so captivating it was difficult to put down.

So tiring to listen to the endless advertising in all the Patterson/jointly written books. Apple, Starbucks, etc. These brands are mentioned in contexts where normal speech would not use these words, so the authors' corporate prostitution is obvious.

Also dislike Hachette Audio's constant sound effects and music designed to guide my reaction to the book. If I wanted that, I'd go to a movie. That's what used to be good about books - I got to have my OWN reaction. It's as bad as the constant music so proliferous on all current TV dramas. It detracts from the dialogue instead of complimenting it.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Invisible?

The revelation of the villain's identity was a shock, as was the clever ending.

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

The reader for the villain in this book was particularly over-dramatic in the beginning, but finally settled into the sociopathic person being portrayed without all the overplaying. Female reader was great, with many voices.
