When Phil Kramer is shot dead on a deserted suburban street in the middle of the night, his wife, Emily, is left with an emptied bank account and a lot of questions. How could Phil leave her penniless? What was he going to do with the money? And, most of all, who was he if he wasn't the man she thought she married?

Jerry Hobart has some questions of his own. It's none of his business why he was hired to kill Phil Kramer. But now that he's been ordered to take out Kramer's widow, he figures there's a bigger secret at work---and maybe a bigger payoff.

As they race to find the secret Phil Kramer so masterfully hid, both Hobart and Emily must question where their true loyalties lie and how much they owe those who have been unfaithful to them. In Fidelity, Thomas Perry delivers another riveting thriller.

I would have liked more twists and turns in this story but it otherwise was an excellent listen for this genre. You have a couple of evil characters working against each other and the forces of good. You have a hero who we only get to know after he dies at the very beginning of the book. You have characters who could very easily be real people. And Perry tells the story in a most effective manner. Listeners will probably be able to guess what's going to happen but often this is better than implausible twists that come out of nowhere. The book comes to a satisfying conclusion but I think Perry missed the opportunity to add a final twist. I kept waiting for one but it never materialized. Michael Kramer was good, if a bit monotoned. He portrays evil much better than he portrays good. And that's the way most listeners would want it. All in all, a very good listen.

I don’t know how Thomas Perry can keep creating such suspenseful stories but I hope he never stops. Even though this is one of his earlier books, it doesn’t fail to keep the reader totally engaged to see what will happen next. And Michael Kramer is the perfect reader for all of Perry’s books.

Thomas Perry has easily become one of my favorites. He almost always weaves an interesting and action packed story that holds my attention utterly. In Fidelity we get to experience the impact of a crime on an unsuspecting wife who, through the course of the story becomes a survival warrior. So often stories are by and about men, but this one focuses on how a woman survives! Thank you Mr. Perry for realizing that women want to read about themselves sometimes!

In Fidelity, we also learn to appreciate a murderer, which is always an interesting turn around for a reader. But what I think I like the best in Perry's writing and in Michael Kramer's performance is that the reader feels like we are inside the head of the character.

Perry takes us step by step though the thinking of each character in a way that is detailed and nuanced but never tedious or predictable. The conclusion is an incredible "page turner." I have now listened to all of Perry's audiobooks and conclude that he is an amazing writer and the pairing of Perry with Michael Kramer as the reader is one of the best pairings I have heard in audio books. Kramer has an intimate vocal style that is both private and intense but also exciting and flexible He creates unique voice patterns for the various characters which is remarkably differentiated and yet never self conscious by drawing attention to itself.

I will listen to this book again and urge those who like a suspense and mystery stories to get this book!

Reading Perry's latest, THE OLD MAN, prompted me to buy another by him --the one I am reviewing--FIDELITY. Interesting, but nowhere the twists of The Old Man. Fidelity wouldn't have made me look for others by the same author. Strangely, I found I already had another book by Perry in my own audible library (Forty Thieves), read it this weekend, and would have given it a five star rating, had I not already rated it earlier. The female voices in all of Perry's books are not the greatest (why don't they spend the extra $ and somebody--maybe even a female?-- who can do different female voices?).

Good but not outstanding
