About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

If you have a big bank account and an even bigger problem, you're going to want Private on the case.

Former US Marine Jack Morgan runs Private, a renowned investigation company with branches around the globe. It is where you go when you need maximum force and maximum discretion. The most influential men and women on the planet come to Jack daily – and his investigators use the most advanced forensic tools to make and break their cases.
In L.A., Jack is already deep into the investigation of a multimillion-dollar gambling scandal and the killings of eighteen schoolgirls when he learns of a horrific murder close to home: his best friend's wife and Jack's former lover, has been killed. It nearly pushes him over the edge. Instead, Jack pushes back and devotes all of Private's resources to tracking down her killer.
And Jack doesn't have to play by the rules.

This book started me listening to James Patterson Private. It is the start of a continuing saga with many twists and turns that keeps you listening right to the end. The reader tells a great story and kept me interested to its finish. There are lots interesting people but not too many so that you get totally lost on who is who and who did what. I certainly will be following on with the next Private issue and can certainly recommend this read.

The story like all james Patterson was great but the production with continued interludes of dramatic music was neither needed or wanted!

Stop with the dramatic musical interludes!

Felt like there was a lot of padding in the story, the narration also slow. There seemed to be an attempt to make it appear more than it was. I have no desire to listen to any more in the series.

Got to the end but felt like very slow progress

I tried the book while it was the daily deal but found the 'hard boiled detective' story not to my taste so I won't be reading any others in the series.
I am fairly certain that fans of this genre will enjoy it.

Not my cup of tea
