About this listen

“I have just committed the perfect murder. You have one week to catch me, or I will vanish... and strike again, nine years from today.”

FBI agent Sarah Cole is stunned to receive an invitation to the “Game of Nines,” the most secretive and longest-running murder puzzle in history.

Thrust into a mystery that has confounded law enforcement for decades, she proves to be an unexpectedly formidable "player"—and might finally end the deadly game once and for all.

From James Patterson, the world’s bestselling author, and starring Shailene Woodley (Big Little Lies) and Morena Baccarin (Deadpool), Game of Nines is a pulse-pounding murder mystery full of twists and turns that will keep you guessing until the end.

Please note: This audio drama is for mature audiences only. It contains violence and strong language. Discretion is advised.

Available in Dolby Atmos on Audible.

This is what you expect from a Patterson inspired story. It has a lot of twists, high production values and a great voice cast. The Israeli guy did sound Hispanic for much of it, but beyond that it was well done.
The premise was an odd one and I don't think it bears up under much scrutiny, but if you just go with it then it's an entertaining listen and at just over three hours a good option for the daily commuter.

Good basic Patterson material

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this. I did twig towards the end because of something that happened but was totally taken in before this. So well written and performed by all. Definitely recommend this one.
