About this listen

From James Patterson, the world’s bestselling author, comes a new Audible Original thriller that will keep you guessing until the very end.

After the killing of a prominent mob lawyer, NYPD homicide detectives Jacob Jackson and Caitlin Grimes start receive chilling, written “rules” for how to commit the perfect murder. "Rule number one for the perfect murder: Evidence is your enemy. Leave none behind."

Jackson (Reid Scott) and Grimes (Cobie Smulders) race to find the killer, setting them on a collision course with the city’s crime underbelly, and a perpetrator who seems happy to toy with them. “Rule number two. No crimes of passion. The perfect murder is always business, never pleasure.”

As the cryptic notes keep coming and the body count grows, the detectives must untangle the mystery to protect more innocent lives from being lost—including their own.

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

a nice and quick little mystery. felt like a TV show with the voice work and sound effects. I did suspect the ending after rule 6 though.

Nice dramatization. Story was great and we always like to see when the bad guys suffer.

Excellent who did it

This was the first “dramatized” audiobook that I’ve listened to. Thought it was well done and had a good performance by the actors. It was even a pretty good story… right up until the ending. That has got to be the lamest and most disappointing ending ever! I would not have bothered starting it had I known beforehand how it would end.

Was pretty good… until the ending!

Ending seemed like the easy way out. Very anticlimactic. The story was actually good if they would have finished it better. Performance & audio was good though

Great Performance, Lazy ending

This was my first dynamic audiobook. I stayed in my car to listen to it, I couldn’t ’put it down’.

Shock ending
