Publisher's summary

When Jack Morgan opens the Mumbai branch of Private, the world's most elite detective agency, he hands the reins to top agent Santosh Wagh. Now, in this teeming metropolis of over 13 million people where the guilty have everywhere to hide, Santosh goes on the hunt for one elusive killer. A killer who is targeting seemingly unconnected women and placing strange objects at their death scenes in a series of chilling rituals.

As the Private team races to find a link that will lead them to the next victim, an unseen menace threatens to destroy the agency from within - and plunge the city into chaos. With countless lives hanging in the balance, Santosh must confront the demons of his past… before Private India meets an explosive end.

Not a typical Patterson PRIVATE

Cannot get past the monotone Performance. Skip it and go to the next one. You will be glad you did....Love the series, but don't love this one.

India

Good story. Had not problem with accents, however the American should have been done by an American.

Not the best of the series!

The plot was so so. It was too slow. It was hard to materialize! It was boring. If It wasn’t part of the Private series, I would’ve skip the book. It was 6.5 hours of my life I’ll never get back!

Accent made story harder to follow

The story was decent, but not great. The narrator's accent added realism to the story but distracted from being able to enjoy the story because I was concentrating on understanding the narrator.

Private India

A little draggy in parts. Too much use of the word f**k. New coauthor so next effort will be better

Trying to decipher what the narrator was saying was difficult and the accent was unnecessary.

Difficult to follow

I really couldn't follow with what was happening in the story. I feel if I was reading it myself, perhaps I could have. The narrator was difficult, for me, to understand and didn't give each character "life".

A whole new dynamic into the four corners of Private.

James Patterson and Ashwin Sanghi have done it again. Taking the audience into a mysterious, dark underworld planted and nestled into the mysterious and undiscovered world of the great nation of India. A quickly changing and growing society that carries a cataclysmic history as vast and ancient of Indue-China Thailand. A world of magic, religion, spiritual power, philosophy and a dark network of underworlds. Both, ancient and current.
It felt as if James Patterson and his associate openly journeyed into the curious and imaginative mind of Dan Brown himself. And, unlocked a vast treasure of a hidden and lost history that stretched to the beginning of time. Jack Morgan and Private have earned the key to endless reaches of society and mankind to investigate and solve the crimes of any client who seeks their expertise.
Two thumbs up, and a victorious Hoorah to you for another masterpiece in true-crime story writing!
