About this listen
Audie Award, Thriller and Suspense, 2015
The newest thriller from Michael Koryta, New York Times best-selling author.
When 13-year-old Jace Wilson witnesses a brutal murder, he's plunged into a new life, issued a false identity and hidden in a wilderness skills program for troubled teens. The plan is to get Jace off the grid while police find the two killers. The result is the start of a nightmare.
The killers, known as the Blackwell Brothers, are slaughtering anyone who gets in their way in a methodical quest to reach him. Now all that remains between them and the boy are Ethan and Allison Serbin, who run the wilderness survival program; Hannah Faber, who occupies a lonely fire lookout tower; and endless miles of desolate Montana mountains.
The clock is ticking, the mountains are burning, and those who wish Jace Wilson dead are no longer far behind.

It's been said that all great literature boils down to one of two stories—a man takes a journey, or a stranger comes to town. While mystery writers have been successfully using both approaches for generations, there's something undeniably alluring in the nature of a stranger: the uninvited guest, the unacquainted neighbor, the fish out of water. In the newest collection of stories by the Mystery Writers of America, each author weaves a fresh tale surrounding the eerie feeling that comes when a stranger enters our midst, featuring stories by prolific mystery writers.

One weekend, while Andrew Mason was on a fishing trip, his wife, Brie, vanished without a trace. Most everyone assumed Andy had got away with murder—it’s always the husband, isn’t it?—but the police could never build a strong case against him. For a while, Andy hit rock bottom—he drank too much to numb the pain, was abandoned by all his friends save one, nearly lost his business, and became a pariah in the place he once called home.

It's been said that all great literature boils down to one of two stories—a man takes a journey, or a stranger comes to town. While mystery writers have been successfully using both approaches for generations, there's something undeniably alluring in the nature of a stranger: the uninvited guest, the unacquainted neighbor, the fish out of water. In the newest collection of stories by the Mystery Writers of America, each author weaves a fresh tale surrounding the eerie feeling that comes when a stranger enters our midst, featuring stories by prolific mystery writers.

I've already listened to this one twice!
Would you consider the audio edition of Those Who Wish Me Dead to be better than the print version?
Great story line. Excellent villains. Interesting survival facts mixed in with the story. My 13 year-old listened to it with me and was riveted. This is my third book by the author, and although I have enjoyed all three, this was my favorite.

Another good one by Michael Koryta
I enjoyed this one as I have all Mr. Koryta's novels. His stories are in depth, informed, and entertaining. I especially like hours detective series, but all of them are great. I highly recommend this author.

Fine narration, overwritten, but compelling story
The narrator was fine. The story was a good thriller, If rather shallow with 1 dimensional characters and plot twists for the sake of twists. But what bothered me the most was that the author overexplained every detail, several times, as if the author just assumes the reader is a moron. This could have been a great story about characters coming together and developing in adversity, but the opportunity was missed.
