About this listen

Jenna Wade has it all. A devoted husband. Two precocious children. A wildly successful mother. A beautiful house in one of the most desirable beach towns on the planet.

And seven hours to live.

Kidnappers grabbed Jenna in broad daylight, right in front of her children and their horrified classmates. Her family was issued an insane ransom demand: $25 million in cash and jewels, payable by the end of the school day, otherwise they’ll never see her again.

As Jenna’s mother scrambles to gather the money, detectives Mo Butler and George Ortega follow the trail of the kidnappers, which will lead them through a sordid landscape of jealous lovers, broken dreamers, and twisted schemers.

But every second counts, and there’s one thing Jenna Wade doesn’t have: very much time.

Between competing detectives and colorful locals, everyone has a theory about who is behind this unthinkable crime. But things may not be as they seem ... will you be able to solve the puzzle before time runs out?

From the world’s bestselling author comes a fast-paced, unpredictable thriller starring Emmy-winner Sarah Paulson (American Crime Story), Dan Stevens (Downton Abbey), Patina Miller (The Hunger Games), Mel Rodriguez (Better Call Saul), and more in this year's standout performances.

As a huge fan of Patterson, I really enjoyed this , the story had me hooked from the start and definitely deserves 4 stars for its suspenseful plot.

But the real highlight for me was the performance—5 stars without a doubt! The multiple narrators made it feel like I was listening to a full-on drama, and it really brought the characters to life. Each voice added a special touch that kept me engaged throughout. If you love thrillers, you’ll definitely want to give this one a listen! Highly recommend!

A Thrilling Listen with Fantastic Performances!

Based on a solid script and featuring a just as solid performance, it nevertheless slightly disappoints by being too predictable. (None of the famous "Patterson twists" at the end.)

Solid yet lacking interesting twist

I enjoyed listing to this as it was well performed by the cast, although if it had been any longer it would have become tiresome and irritating, many of the voices are a bit too smug
But quite honestly it's not tense or exciting, it's a rather cliche ridden story that doesn't take a lot of working out.
IF it was a movie it would definitely be a B-movie, the cast did well with the sub-standard material
I expect better from James Patterson

Well performed but it's another old cliched story

Enjoyed this audio book. A great production including Sarah Paulson narrating and the story kept my interest.

An enjoyable listen
