Mistress

By: James Patterson, David Ellis

Narrated by: Kevin T. Collins

James Patterson's scariest, sexiest stand-alone thriller since The Quickie.

Ben isn't like most people. Unable to control his racing thoughts, he's a man consumed by his obsessions: movies, motorcycles, presidential trivia-and Diana Hotchkiss, a beautiful woman Ben knows he can never have.

When Diana is found dead outside her apartment, Ben's infatuation drives him on a hunt to find out what happened to the love of his life.

Ben soon discovers that the woman he pined for was hiding a shocking double life. And now someone is out to stop Ben from uncovering the truth about Diana's illicit affairs.

In his most heart-pumping thriller yet, James Patterson plunges us into the depths of a mind tortured by paranoia and obsession, on an action-packed chase through a world of danger and deceit.

His "voices" were wonderful. As Ben, I was mesmerized.

Naw....nothing moved me....but it was great entertainment.

Any additional comments?

I started this book months ago and it was slow...really slow. Luckily I gave it a second chance because once it got going....I could not stop. Great story line, great twists and turns...relates well to current events (2014). I wish people who don't like anything JP does would just stop reading his stuff and writing bad reviews.

cool

starts off slow but all in all it was a good book to listen to just stick with it can't complain too much

Not great.
