About this listen

A woman is found murdered in the woods with a very special watch on her wrist, and what seemed a simple case soon escalates into a nightmare. The criminal methods of some of the most infamous killers of all time are being replicated by a new predator who stalks and strikes victims with a cunning brilliance. No one can understand the murderer's motives or who the next victim will be.

Drawn into this violent affair are two Secret Service agents turned private investigators, Sean King and Michelle Maxwell. Both have been hired to prove a man's innocence in a domestic burglary involving an aristocratic, if dysfunctional, family. Soon, stunning secrets will lead the partners into the middle of a frantic search for a killer unlike any they've confronted before.

As the Hour Game barrels forward, Sean and Michelle face a macabre puzzle and uncover one horrifying revelation after another. Nearing the truth, they will find that their own lives are in danger. And then they're hit with the biggest surprise of all. When you play the Hour Game, you have to play to win. But time is running out...for all of them.

In Hour Game, best-selling master storyteller David Baldacci has created his most mind-blowing and satisfying thriller yet.

A Fabulous Mystery

This book caught my attention right away, and it held it captive all the way throughout. This was my second book by this author, and I was not disappointed whatsoever. I hate reading mysteries or suspense novels where the secrets are easily figured out, so this one was perfect since I wasn't able to figure it out until it was all revealed.

There are some pretty nasty murders and graphic descriptions in the story, but that's to be expected in a novel of this genre. It didn't take away from the story, but rather, added to its intensity. I highly recommend "Hour Game" - if you like stories from Cornwell or Kellerman or Patterson, you'll like this one.

Suspense At It's Best

NOVEL CRITIC
Hour Game, by David Baldacci
Suspense At It’s Best!

Jean A. Vachon

WICKENBURG, AZ - David Baldacci novels are my favorite! The author is such a great story teller, it’s awesome from beginning to end.
This audio novel is no exception.
Michelle Maxwell and Shawn King have their own investigative agency.
In Hour Game, they are confronted by a serial killer who plays cat and mouse with them. The smart killer seems to follow a pattern. He also takes pleasure in leaving clues on the scene of his crimes, clues that seem to show his intention to copy known historical criminals.
He kills with great cruelty wearing a black hood, puts a watch on the victim’s wrist and stops the watch, and then sends a letter to the police letting them know that there is more to come.
There is also the presence of a dysfunctional family which further complicates matters.
Maxwell and King are always a step behind the criminal.
Their lives are often menaced.
Unperturbed, Shawn King, gathers information and puts everything together slowly but surely. The result is absolutely mind-blugging!
The solution is complex at the least.
You’ll be a genius if you guess who the culprit is!
I could’nt find the answer, but the whole pllot revealed suspense a it’s best!
There is no boredom. The story is smart, captivating and procures hours of reading pleasure.
What more can you ask from a book?

Great story, improbable solution.

I have read (listened to) a couple of books in this series and enjoyed them, and the overall story in Hour Game is captivating. Lots of action, good characters, intriguing mystery, and some deadpan humor. But I want a good mystery to reveal enough clues to give me some hope of guessing at the solution and late in this book I realized that wasn't happening. If you don't mind having no chance to solve this mystery yourself, I recommend this as a rip-roaring story that will keep you listening. And Scott Brick does a fantastic job of narration. But for me it was a great letdown when at the moment of revealing the truth, the protagonist disclosed essential information I could not possibly have guessed at and I'm not convinced he could have either. Thus my 3-star rating.

Great as all Baldacci books are

I am already fan of Baldacci. This was my first experience with audio books. Had a bit of trouble keeping my mind focused on the book at first. But as I listened it did get easier. Just have to learn to keep my focus on what is happening as I listen to the reader dialogue.

I think if there was someone else reading it would have been better, it moved to slow and very little excitement
