15 thriller masters. 1 masterful thriller.
Former war crimes investigator Harold Middleton possesses a previously unknown score by Frederic Chopin. But he is unaware that, locked within its handwritten notes, lies a secret that now threatens the lives of thousands of Americans. As he races from Poland to America to uncover the mystery of the manuscript, Middleton will be accused of murder, pursued by federal agents, and targeted by assassins. But the greatest threat will come from a shadowy figure out of his past: the man known only as Faust.
The Chopin Manuscript is a unique collaboration by 15 of the world's greatest thriller writers. Jeffery Deaver conceived the characters and set the plot in motion; the other authors each wrote a chapter in turn. Deaver then completed what he started, bringing The Chopin Manuscript to its explosive conclusion.

I know, as a computer code programmer, how difficult it is pick up from one technician and continue the project - it is so often easier to just start over again, scraping what had previously been done, than to try to graft your skills and ideas onto someone else's base ....
But, these authors were magnificent in their work, as always!!
Thank you,

I look forward to more projects like this in the future!
Moleno, as narrator, was just as stupendous as he is as an actor!
Loved the concept and was thrilled at the end result!!

What did you like best about The Chopin Manuscript? What did you like least?
The idea of building a story with a team of star thriller writers sounds great. But when I listened, I felt confused as each author introduced new characters and new threads which seemed unrelated to the previous parts of the story.It did all come together in the end. I think I would have enjoyed this more if I listened to this as a serial rather than in one go.
If you’ve listened to books by the authors before, how does this one compare?
I have not listened to other books by these authors. I have only read their booksWhat about Alfred Molina’s performance did you like?
He is a good actor.Was The Chopin Manuscript worth the listening time?
It was ok. But there are better books out there.Nice idea - but issues in continuity

As others have noted, the different chapters were somewhat disjointed and did not give a seamless flow. The book required careful concentration to read, but overall was entertaining.
Alfred Molina's narration was topnotch. I am a big fan of his.
My primary complaint about this book--and this is strictly a personal preference--is that there are sound effects and music scattered throughout. In addition, the story is interrupted to announce the author of each chapter.
I find music and effects to be jarring and the author announcements distracting. I have Asperger's so perhaps it is just an idiosyncracy. I don't recall other reviewers mentioning this aspect of the book. I myself would not have purchased this book in audioform had I been aware of this in advance.
Good story, jarring production

The Chopin Manuscript stats with a murder of an extremely talented piano tuner. He wasn't sure what he was murdered for, but it turned out that the answer lay in one of his greatest hobbies. After his murder, many people became involved and the good guys could just as well be the bad ones.
