One of the Best Books of the Year
Time * NPR * Washington Post * Bloomberg News * Chicago Tribune * Chicago Public Library * Fortune * Los Angeles Times * E! News * The Telegraph * Apple * Library Journal

In this newly updated edition of the "meticulous and devastating" (Associated Press) account of violence and espionage that spent months on the New York Times Bestsellers list, Ronan Farrow exposes serial abusers and a cabal of powerful interests hell-bent on covering up the truth, at any cost—from Hollywood to Washington and beyond.

In 2017, a routine network television investigation led 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. 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

"Meticulous and devastating...part All the President's Men, part spy thriller."—Rasha Madkour, Associated Press

"At the heart of every great noir is a conspiracy of evil that imbues the initial crime uncovered by the hero with a weightier resonance than was immediately obvious. So it goes with Catch and Kill."—Elizabeth Bruenig, The Washington Post

"The connections between presidents, media moguls, and spies described in Catch and Kill are stranger than fiction. As a novel, it would be a page-turner. As a reported piece of nonfiction, it's terrifying."—Eliana Dockterman, Time

Wish I’d bought the book and read it instead

The content of the book is good but the “accents” put on throughout are off putting and a huge distraction. I honestly wish I hadn’t purchased the audible version, and just bought a hard copy.

The narration ruined it

Really was looking forward to this book, but I found the narration so distracting. The accents, whether they be Russian, Albanian, Eastern European etc. all sound the same and equally as bad. The women's voices all sound breathy and whiny. Like others who have reviewed the audiobook on here, I wish I read the book instead.

Great book. Bad narration.

This is a very informative and well researched book. Narrated by Ronan Farrow. His attempt at performing character accents while narrating the book are distracting. I would not listen to another book narrated by him.

Great story and great narration

This was a great book to listen to. The story is riveting and holds your attention. Ronan Farrow's narration is almost better than the story itself. He uses all kinds of accents and attempts to mimic some people. I laughed a bunch of times. That is also because I am a big Pod Save America fan and Jon Lovett is featured prominently. Great book.

Good Book, Bad Female Voice-overs

Overall, the story is riveting. It tells the courageous stories of so many women and how corporations, trying to protect their interests, protected the predators. I really loved the book.

However, I did not Ronan Farrow’s voice-over of the female characters. I assume he tried to portray the women who were assaulted as vulnerable, but with his poor voice-over work of females, they came across as winy. I felt that his voice-over work was almost mocking them. Again, I assume that this wasn’t his intention, but it is certainly how it came across. I actually takes away from the story.

I certainly think that there could have been enough of a recording budget to hire a female voice-over actor. That was a big oversight on the producer’s part.

Aside from Ronan’s abysmal female voice-over work though, it was a good book.

Taking down the nepharious at its best!!!

Ronan Farrow and all if his helpers, especially the women who were abused for years need to be commended for their courage, strength and perseverance in delivering this story!!!!!
Everyone needs to be accountable for their actions and behaviours. No one should be above the law!!!
Thank you Ronan for exposing how morally corrupt our societies can be. May your story help us strive to do better as a human race.

A Suspenseful Tone Kickstarts the Imagination

I thought the story was one of the most important of this early century. The fact that Ronan is so young, yet so experienced in this subject that has been so taboo for so long just makes the whole experience even more unique. I appreciated the accents and the humour, the contrast between spy thriller and harsh reality. Recommended to anyone with a feminist streak or a passion for gender equality... Or great journalism.

A Real Life Thriller

Five out of five stars isn’t enough for this. It’s a gritty account of the abuses of women suffered at the hands of the powerful. The collusion, coordination of cover-ups and blackmail are absolutely stunning. As is the behaviour and acceptance of these despicable predators. It’s heart wrenching. I look forward to more reporting by Farrow.
