Summary

From James Patterson, the world's #1 bestselling author, comes Harker — a dark and seductive detective noir that reimagines Dracula as a contemporary crime thriller.

Detective Mina Harker has built a reputation as the sharpest mind in the New Orleans Police Department, closing cases no one else can crack.

But the case that's been haunting her for years is unlike anything else in her files. The victims leave behind no forensic evidence, no witnesses, and not a single drop of blood in their bodies.

When FBI Special Agent Jon Weston enlists Harker to help track a serial killer who's striking in New Orleans, she knows two things: he's closer to the truth than he knows—and she can't let him get too close. Because the truth isn't just about the killer. It's about her too.

Five years ago, Harker survived an encounter that should have killed her. What it left behind still torments her, and it's getting harder to control. And as victims turn up across New Orleans, and a shadowy figure from her past tightens his grip on the city, Mina is running out of time to decide: is she the hunter or the prey?

Created by James Patterson, and starring Christina Ricci (Yellowjackets, Wednesday), Harker is a propulsive thriller where nothing is quite what it seems, and the most cunning detective in New Orleans is racing to solve a case before it consumes her completely.

I think I'd actually watch this if it was ever made into a TV show /movie. Hoping there might be a sequel

Went into this expecting a fast, dark, noir spin on Dracula and came out feeling pretty lukewarm. The premise is genuinely a good hook, Dracula reimagined as a modern day crime thriller, but the execution just didn’t have the pace or grip I was hoping for. Not much actually happens across the roughly 3 hour runtime, and it ended up feeling flat rather than gripping.

The audio production itself is the strongest part. The voice cast is great and the producing is polished, so as a listen it’s easy on the ears even when the story isn’t pulling its weight.

This is my first James Patterson so I can’t say if this is typical of his style or an outlier, but based on this one I expected something grittier and more suspenseful than what I got. Solid production, forgettable story. Average all round.
