About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

One woman is about to become the victim of her own success.

On the surface, Emily Atkinson has it all. A successful job, a luxury apartment in New York City and a glamorous life. But then she lands in the hospital with a double diagnosis.

She parties too much...and she's pregnant.

Her nurse and new friend, Betsey, helps Emily recuperate and rediscover morning runs in the park and quiet nights at home.

But as a series of women go missing, Emily's pregnancy becomes decidedly high-risk....

Will she live to see it through?

Critic Reviews

Patterson knows where our deepest fears are buried... there's no stopping his imagination. (NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW)
No one gets this big without natural storytelling talent - which is what Jim has, in spades. (LEE CHILD, bestselling author of the Jack Reacher series)
Patterson boils a scene down to a single, telling detail, the element that defines a character or moves a plot along. It's what fires off the movie projector in the reader's mind. (MICHAEL CONNELLY)

Are you sure Patterson help write this dribble ?

That was 12 hrs I'll never back. Without doubt the worst book I've ever listened too.

The story dragged on .

the book was boring and predictable. Definitely not a good read. The characters were annoying and the book waffled

Painful by the end I felt crazy too

Kept giving it a chance but it just relentlessly went on and on until I felt as crazy as Emily

Painfully long & drawn out

This book could have been reduced to 5 hours max. The main character was a hot mess & very frustrating. Storyline had glimpses of being ok but unfortunately fell flat. Wouldn’t recommend this book.
