Private India: City on Fire

By: James Patterson, Ashwin Sanghi

Narrated by: Amerjit Deu, Raj Ghatak

From the world’s #1 bestselling author, when Jack Morgan opens a branch of Private in Mumbai, a mysterious killer threatens to destroy the agency—and the city—from the inside out.

When Jack Morgan opens the Mumbai branch of Private, the world's most elite detective agency, he hands the reins to top agent Santosh Wagh. Now, in this teeming metropolis of over thirteen million people where the guilty have everywhere to hide, Santosh goes on the hunt for one elusive killer: a killer who is targeting seemingly unconnected women and placing strange objects at their death scenes in a series of chilling rituals.

As the Private team races to find a link that will lead them to the next victim, an unseen menace threatens to destroy the agency from within-and plunge the city into chaos. With countless lives hanging in the balance, Santosh must confront the demons of his past ... before Private India meets an explosive end.

Not a typical Patterson PRIVATE

Cannot get past the monotone Performance. Skip it and go to the next one. You will be glad you did....Love the series, but don't love this one.

India

Good story. Had not problem with accents, however the American should have been done by an American.

Not the best of the series!

The plot was so so. It was too slow. It was hard to materialize! It was boring. If It wasn’t part of the Private series, I would’ve skip the book. It was 6.5 hours of my life I’ll never get back!

Accent made story harder to follow

The story was decent, but not great. The narrator's accent added realism to the story but distracted from being able to enjoy the story because I was concentrating on understanding the narrator.

Enjoyed Private India!

I listened to it 3x and got more out of it each time! I have enjoyed all the Private books!
