About this listen

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

“Once this journey takes hold, I find I’m able to think as my character thinks, act as he acts, and feel what my character is feeling...”

James Patterson leads you into the darkest recesses of the mind with this chilling, immersive audio thriller. We meet Brent Quill, a frustrated actor trying to take his game to the next level. When he learns about the intensive Method acting process, he dives in deep—and immediately lands the lead role in a TV series about a brutal serial killer.

But when the Method’s controversial techniques start to take over Brent’s psyche, the lines between real life and acting begin to blur dangerously. How far will Brent go to “become” the character?

Starring Zachary Quinto (Star Trek, Heroes), Stephanie Beatriz (Encanto, Brooklyn Nine-Nine), Lil Rel Howery (Get Out), and a full cast, The Method is pure James Patterson—a roller-coaster ride of lies, coverups, and dark deeds.

This it’s the first time I’ve listened to a story like this, it was really good, I got a little lost in some parts, such as shuffling & killing, as you have to rely on the sound effects, but on the whole built tension really well, I would definitely buy another like this, it’s very immersive.

Overall enjoyed the storyline. Definitely for adults. Great performance. Would be great onscreen. Just the right length.

amazing performances and enjoyed the story, especially the twist at the end! Made the ending more satisfying, as often I find thrillers to be a bit predictable.

Really enjoyable

Not back, happy to hear as it was free.
But I wasn’t gripped, so wouldn’t recommend highly to others. Was only 3 hours in total, so at least it didn’t drag on.

Average. Wasn’t really my thing

A previously failed actor is given the title part in a new series, Cassanover Killer, after starting a course on method acting with unfortunate results. The full cast are excellent but the play was rather predictable other than the length of time the serial killer was able to stay out of the public eye.

Almost fun.
