The Writer

A Thriller

De: James Patterson, J. D. Barker

Narrado por: Peter Ganim

“Consider blocking out a few hours of uninterrupted reading time” for The Writer, #1 New York Times bestselling author James Patterson’s “Excellent… perfectly executed … genuinely suspenseful” (Booklist) thriller about a true-crime author swept up in a murder plot.

“Entertaining…one gonzo plot twist follows the next…loads of fun.” (Publishers Weekly)

NYPD Detective Declan Shaw gets a call: How fast can you get to the Beresford building on Central Park West?

In the tower apartment, Shaw finds a woman waiting for him. She’s covered in blood. A body is lying dead on the floor of the luxurious living room.

Every book in the apartment’s floor-to-ceiling shelves is by the same author: bestselling true-crime writer Denise Morrow.

"This is you?" Shaw asks the woman. "You're a writer?"
​
Only one person knows the ending to this story. Is it the victim or the killer?

Wow, You Will Never See It Coming

This might be the only book I’ve listened to that I not only never saw the end coming but didn’t make me feel gypped by using a surprise ending that made no sense. I thoroughly enjoyed this book from beginning to end.

Great Twists!!! Just when I thought it was over, another twist revived the story. A must read for thrill lovers!!!

It kept me guessing, unsure of the villain or where it was going next. Best book in awhile.
