Billionaires, politicians, and superstars of every kind are suddenly trapped within one man's brilliant and cold-blooded scenario.Bennett, father of 10, is pulled into the fray.

The tempo and rhythm of the score are in perfect harmony with the action and characters throughout the audiobook. Gently playing in the background, the music never overpowers or distracts from the narration so that listeners can enjoy every minute. When you purchase this Booktrack edition, you receive the exact narration as the traditional audiobook available, with the addition of music throughout.

Audio glitches

Although I really enjoyed the story, there were three places where the audio malfunctioned. Near the beginning, near chapter 33ish and during the last couple of minutes.
It didn’t ruin the book but I thought it was worth mentioning

Review

Enjoyed the story very much but the audio skipped various times. First time that has happened.

Music in the Background

The narrators are fine and the story is fine but who decided there should be music playing in the background?!! This is awful and takes away from getting into the story. Try sound effects but there is no need for music to play in the background while the narrator reads. This is making the experience horrible for me. I am pushing through b/c the story is good. I sure hope the rest of the books don't have music playing in the background.

skipped at the end of chapter 11

not knowing what was said at the end of chapter 11 because it skipped like a scratched cd

Jack’s character

I liked how Jack spoke to Mike (like sleazy , cool, sharp guy) and how he was always three steps ahead of Mike to confuse him
