The Writer

A Thriller

By: James Patterson, J. D. Barker

Narrated by: Peter Ganim

A true-crime author gets swept up in a murder plot in The Writer, a psychological thriller that is "excellent ... perfectly executed ... genuinely suspenseful, even shocking" (Booklist).

NYPD Detective Declan Shaw gets a call: How fast can you get to the Beresford building on Central Park West?
In the tower apartment, Shaw finds two people.
One of them is famous.
One of them is dead.
And only one of them knows the ending to this story. Is it the victim or the killer?

“One gonzo plot twist follows the next … loads of fun.”―Publishers Weekly

“Nothing is as it seems in this incredible novel ... One of the best books of the year.”―Red Carpet Crash

Lot’s of twists

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Every time I thought I had it figured out, new things came to light. Great story 😊

AWESOME

Loved this book from start to finish! So many twists and turns! Never saw that coming!

Unusual, interesting

It kept me guessing, unsure of the villain or where it was going next. Best book in awhile.

Great Twists!!!

Great Twists!!! Just when I thought it was over, another twist revived the story. A must read for thrill lovers!!!

Wow, You Will Never See It Coming

This might be the only book I’ve listened to that I not only never saw the end coming but didn’t make me feel gypped by using a surprise ending that made no sense. I thoroughly enjoyed this book from beginning to end.
