1st Case

By: James Patterson, Chris Tebbetts

Narrated by: Brittany Pressley

Genius programmer Angela Hoot has always been at the top of her class, but now she's at the bottom of the FBI food chain—until her first case threatens everyone around her.
​
Angela's graduate school days at MIT come to an abrupt end when she uses her hacking skills on another student's computer. Yet her mentor, Eve Abajian, arranges a new beginning for her—as an intern in FBI's Boston field office. Her new supervisor, Assistant Special Agent in Charge William Keats, one of only two agents in the Northeast to make his rank before the age of thirty, sees in Angela a fellow prodigy. But Angela's skills come with a natural curiosity, which is also a dangerous liability.

With little training, Angela is quickly plunged into a tough case: tracking murderous brothers who go by the Poet and the Engineer. When Keats tells her to "watch and listen," Angela's mind kicks into overdrive. The obsessive thinking that earned her As on campus can prove fatal in the field.

very cool

What an excellent book I'm so glad for new stories every times I pick up a book from James Patterson

I loved it

Great listen. Straightforward murder-mystery, follow the hidden leads, case solved. Best of all, very little offensive language. So glad I didnt go by some of the other reviews. I enjoyed exploring the personality of each character. I hope there are other books in this series.

great writer and voice

Spoiler alert. I do love this writer which is why I gave 4 stars. And the voice matched the main character. But the plot was predictable and any surprises seemed improbable. She flirts with a seasoned FBI agent way to early in their relationship. And then he goes for it? She sneaks out of a supposed secure FBI building? The killer happens to hit her with his car? She is supposed to be smart but make dumb decisions. Also would have liked to learn more about the killers before one was killed.

amazing!

loved it. all of it. I cant wait for the next one to come out!!

The twists and turns.

Lots of excitement and expectation to look forward to. Surprises in every chapter, which keep you listening.
