About this listen

End of Watch is a compelling and chilling suspense novel which sees retired detective Bill Hodges back on the trail of his nemesis, Brady Hartsfield, the criminal the press called The Mercedes Killer.

Foiled in his attempt to commit a second mass murder, Hartsfield is confined to a hospital brain-injury unit in a seemingly unresponsive state. But all is not what it seems: Brady is able to influence both his physician and the hospital librarian to commit crimes in the outside world.

Now the technological genius has created a hypnotic electronic fishing game which compels users to commit suicide, and he is determined to target the three people who put him in hospital: Hodges and his sidekicks, Holly and Jerome.

Great characters shaping a great story.a

A mix of life and death, tragedy and joy, endings and new beginnings. Main characters Hodges and Gidney strive to understand the other-wise unexplainable deaths of children, who take their lives by way of the power of an app, developed by someone thought to have been brain damaged beyond recovery of consciousn ess. And along the way, the main chacters have their own challenges as Hodges seeks to complete his latest assignmentn before the cancer takes him.And holly Gidney becomes morew confident in her own abilities and is ready to take over ownership of Hodge's "Finders Keepers" private investigations business.

Fantastic Conclusion, Highly Recommended!

Loved this finale to the Bill Hodges trilogy. I would recommend reading the three in order though. While some reviews state this book works as a standalone novel, it does so by giving away some major moments in the first two books, which are better enjoyed spoiler free. Will Patton is, as always, one of my favourite narrators. Always willing to listen to this talented voice actor.

Gripping right to the end

What did you like most about End of Watch?

I read this before the other two in the series. Although there are many links between the two , they are able to be read in any order and still remain gripping. I'm now reading the Mercedes Killer - another great book!

What other book might you compare End of Watch to, and why?

The Mercedes Killer

What does Will Patton bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

Clear and easily understood. He changes his voice to 'become' the characters and I was never confused . Will search out his books in future.
