About this listen
In a dramatic account of violence and espionage, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter Ronan Farrow exposes serial abusers and a cabal of powerful interests hell-bent on covering up the truth, at any cost.
In 2017, a routine network television investigation led Ronan Farrow to a story only whispered about: one of Hollywood's most powerful producers was a predator, protected by fear, wealth, and a conspiracy of silence. As Farrow drew closer to the truth, shadowy operatives, from high-priced lawyers to elite war-hardened spies, mounted a secret campaign of intimidation, threatening his career, following his every move and weaponizing an account of abuse in his own family.
All the while, Farrow and his producer faced a degree of resistance that could not be explained - until now. And a trail of clues revealed corruption and cover-ups from Hollywood, to Washington, and beyond.
This is the untold story of the exotic tactics of surveillance and intimidation deployed by wealthy and connected men to threaten journalists, evade accountability and silence victims of abuse - and it's the story of the women who risked everything to expose the truth and spark a global movement.
Both a spy thriller and a meticulous work of investigative journalism, Catch and Kill breaks devastating new stories about the rampant abuse of power - and sheds far-reaching light on investigations that shook the culture.

Story was great. Narration was terrible
The story and investigative journalism were great. My only problem with this audio version was the narration. What the hell was up with those corny accents? They weren't good, accurate, or helpful in the narration. If anything, they took away from the storytelling and made me wonder if the author was competing in ridiculous accent stereotype contest. He could have done the whole thing as Boris and Natasha and it wouldn't have been any worse. Nice try, didn't work.

Incredible story, questionable accents!
Such an incredible story of a horrific system of abuse and power. I’m absolutely in awe of Ronan Farrow’s work and his tenacity, and of course of all the women who stood up courageously to tell the story of these awful men.
To those who covered it up, I hope you realise exactly what part you have played.
So well told. Those accents though ... at least being good at accents has no bearing on the tremendous reporting and storytelling accomplished here.

Shocking tale of power at the top
Ronan has to push so hard at so many closed doors. If ever there was a tale of powerful men protecting one another, this is it.
In terms of the performance, at times the voices for characters was distracting, but it did make it easier to follow.

The downfall of Harvey Weinstein
Thank you Ronan for shining a light on how the rich and powerful get away with these crimes. And thank you for helping to stop this sexual preditor from harming more women

Horrible Accents
Generally fine narration, however Farrow attempted to portray the various accents of all characters - which he did so terribly. Totally distracting and frankly insulting to those he was quoting, particularly the women. Made it very hard to get through the whole 10 hours.

Goosebumps, Tears, Thrilling and Riveting
This was extraordinary. I read/ listened t this is one day. I couldn’t stop. The accents. The story. The exquisite journalism. The outrage and anger. Brave and historic storytelling.
