About this listen

From James Patterson, the world’s bestselling author, comes a new Audible Original thriller that will keep you guessing until the very end.

After the killing of a prominent mob lawyer, NYPD homicide detectives Jacob Jackson and Caitlin Grimes start receive chilling, written “rules” for how to commit the perfect murder. "Rule number one for the perfect murder: Evidence is your enemy. Leave none behind."

Jackson (Reid Scott) and Grimes (Cobie Smulders) race to find the killer, setting them on a collision course with the city’s crime underbelly, and a perpetrator who seems happy to toy with them. “Rule number two. No crimes of passion. The perfect murder is always business, never pleasure.”

As the cryptic notes keep coming and the body count grows, the detectives must untangle the mystery to protect more innocent lives from being lost—including their own.

Please note: This audio drama is for mature audiences only. It contains violence and strong language. Discretion is advised.

A mixed bag

I am unfamiliar with the author's work though I'm aware that he is a best seller and renowned. I don't know if that made me expect more of this but I found it banal and mundane. The ending was frankly completely ridiculous. The biggest issue, not least because it's an audiobook, was the acting. It fitted every stereotype and cliche of the New York cop and the two key players were wildly over the top. In particular the actress playing Grimes was woeful. it simply rolled out every trope that's ever been used. I can't say I would recommend it to anybody.

Perfect narration

I loved the narration! The story was going really well until the last hour and a half. Then it felt rushed and too complicated. Nonetheless this is a very enjoyable audiobook

Crime with a twist

An entertaining listen with great performance by Cobie Smulders (Jack Reacher and Mistletoe Murders) and full cast recommended.

Another Great

I have started to really get into these multi narrator books. This is brilliant all the way through and it keeps going all the way to the last minute. Characters are rounded and interesting, the procedures around the court case is well thought out.

Good production

Well performed and I really enjoyed this until the last few minutes. Unfortunately, the ending was ridiculous and unrealistic.
