Private Down Under

De: James Patterson, Michael White

Narrado por: Tim Wright

In this thrilling novel from the world’s #1 bestselling author, exclusive detective agency Private opens a new office in Australia—and before there's time to settle in they find themselves in the middle of a deadly murder case.

With the best detectives in the business, cutting edge technology and offices around the globe, there is no investigation company quite like Private. Now, at a glittering launch party overlooking the iconic Opera House, Private Sydney throws open its doors.

Craig Gisto and his newly formed team have barely raised their glasses, however, when a young Asian man, blood-soaked and bullet-ridden, staggers into the party, and what looks like a botched kidnapping turns out to be a whole lot more.

Within days the agency's caseload is full. But it is a horrific murder in the wealthy Eastern Suburbs and the desperate search for a motive that stretches the team to the limit. Stacy Friel, friend of the Deputy Commissioner of NSW Police, isn't the killer's first victim—and as the bodies mount up she's clearly not the last ...

Disappointed in Down Under

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I have read Private London and Berlin before this. Down Under was more of the same except I found the plot too predictable. The level of violence is unnecessary gore.
I did enjoy the narrator and the Australian accent gave the story authenticity IMO.

Basic story.

Basic story, repetitive story. filled the day but nothing special. sorry. wish it was better.

Entertaining

Unlike others who have reviewed this book I found the Aussie accent very easy to listen to and I did think the narrator did an excellent job of performing — he acted different accents and gave inflection and emphasis to make the story interesting. He did just that he performed this book and not just read it.

The story is the typical James Patterson three plots going simultaneously. So in that respect we knew what was coming but on the other hand it was refreshing to get a different perspective from another country and another team. I enjoyed this book I will continue to finish the Private series.

Good listen

I enjoyed listening to this book. I enjoyed the content and the narrative. I think it is worth listening too

Not Bad At All

Patterson book have been a guilty pleasure for a while for me, and I really like the "Private" series. This one measures up really well with the rest of the books. Good story, likeable characters. I enjoyed this book.
