Summary
A true-crime author gets swept up in a murder plot in a psychological thriller from the world's #1 bestselling author, James Patterson.

'Excellent ... perfectly executed ... genuinely suspenseful, even shocking.' —Booklist

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 two people. One of them is famous. One of them is dead. And only one of them knows the ending to this story. Is it the victim or the killer?

“One gonzo plot twist follows the next … loads of fun.” -Publishers Weekly

“Nothing is as it seems in this incredible novel ... One of the best books of the year.” -Red Carpet Crash

Not as great as I thought. Not a well connected ending, very disjointed. Would not go out of my way to read.

I found it just OK.

What an incredible audiobook! From the very first chapter, I was completely hooked. The story is fast-paced, full of suspense, and packed with twists that kept me guessing until the very end. Every time I thought I had it figured out, the plot took another unexpected turn. The narrator was absolutely outstanding. His performance brought every character to life, giving each one a distinct voice and personality. He knew exactly when to build tension, when to slow down, and how to keep me completely immersed in the story. His narration elevated an already excellent thriller into a truly unforgettable listening experience. If you're looking for a thriller that's intelligent, gripping, and impossible to pause, this is it. I finished the book wanting more and will definitely be looking for other books by this author. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
