Publisher's summary

Money. Betrayal. Murder.

That's a Private conversation.

Hired to protect a visiting American woman, Private Johannesburg's Joey Montague is hoping for a routine job looking after a nervous tourist. After the apparent suicide of his business partner, he can't handle much more. But this case is not what it seems - and neither is his partner's death.

Awful

I’ve read all the Private series and this was a joke. Who wrote this???
Not worthy of Audible.

Narrator ruins this book.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Keeping in mind that it is a short story, then I think the plot is interesting and enjoyable. I would enjoy more about this branch of Private.

How could the performance have been better?

His accent was terrible - to the point that it was almost unintelligible in spots. His American accent portions were well done, but Joey's dialog was unpleasant.

Ok story

When I purchased this book, I didn't realize it's a short novel. Given that it was meant to be a really quick read, I guess it was ok. Great premise. Very predictable though.

Jack has to go on

I liked this book, even though it was short it was filled with suspense and kept me on my seat from start to ending.. The Epilogue was the icing on the cake, that alone made the book even better. This book didn't have Jack Morgan solving the case but it had Joey who had to deal with murder, money, betrayal and love, and he did a great job of protecting the client. At first Joey was skeptical about taking this job due to the murder of his partner, but Jack eases his mind with one conversation and Joey is expecting this job to be an easy job so he can get back to picking up the pieces and starting Private Johannesburg up again… Little did he know that this case would end up changing his whole life.

Private gold

Throughly enjoyed the book as I have done all of Patterson's books I was not as impressed with the narrator as with some of the others but the plot was as riveting as always.
