Lion & Lamb

A Thriller

By: James Patterson, Duane Swierczynski

Narrated by: Corey Carthew, Lisa Flanagan, Joshua Kane

Rival Philadelphia private investigators Veena Lion and Cooper Lamb are two wrongs that can make a right. They are Lion & Lamb.

Eagles starting quarterback Archie Hughes is murdered. His even more famous wife, Grammy-winning singer Francine Hughes is suspect #1.

For the defense: Cooper Lamb, private investigator to the stars. For the prosecution: Veena Lion, a sleuth so bright she’s got to wear shades.
Between them, they know every secret in Philadelphia. Together, they carry the burden of proof.

“Great storytelling…A spectacular murder case.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review

Critic reviews

“There’s an inherent satisfaction we get from murder mystery stories that feature entirely clever, yet diametrically opposed, but still wildly attracted to each other detective types. It scratches an itch. I should know—I’m somewhat of an expert. (On murder stories, not itches.) Patterson once again takes us on a wild ride that keeps us turning pages to see if we’re all as smart as the characters in his story.”—Nathan Fillion

“A classic game of cat and mouse.”—BookReporter

Worst of all Patterson books

Could not stay interested. Characters shallow. Dialogue silly. Story line predictable. Not interested in having any follow up of these characters

Different

I listened to the entire story and I am glad it turned out the way it did. The narration sometimes got under my skin and I would have picked different narrators entirely, but it was ok. I love Patterson and get sucked into his stories. This one just walked to a different beat.

Good story

Good story poorly told , to much lion said , lamb said, parts of the book had too much depth and detail where it wasn’t needed.

Narration chops up story

It may just be my ADD but I cannot enjoy narrator interrupting to announce each character before they speak…Lion..Hall etc. I have loved dozens of James Patterson novels but cannot enjoy this! I did not listen very long but story is interesting.

story was good but the dictation style was very di

I stuck with it, but did not like the transcript style that the story is told in. I thought the characters were good and the story kept me guessing til the end.
