About this listen

When a serial killer crashes Detective Michael Bennett's wedding, he and his new partner uncover a gruesome string of cold-case homicides across the country.

Weeks before NYPD Detective Michael Bennett is to marry his longtime love, Mary Catherine, an assassin announces his presence in the city with a string of grisly murders. Each victim is a young woman. And each has been killed in a manner as precise as it was gruesome.

Tasked with working alongside the FBI, Bennett and his gung-ho new partner uncover multiple cold-case homicides across the country that fit the same distinctive pattern—proving the perpetrator they seek is as experienced at ending lives as he is at evading detection.

Bennett promises Mary Catherine that the case won't affect their upcoming wedding. But as Bennett prepares to make a lifetime commitment, the killer has a lethal vow of his own to fulfill.

Whether you’re just discovering James Patterson or you’re an avid, longtime fan of his wide-ranging work, you can't go wrong with any of these excellent listens. Here are a few different entry points into his impressive catalog.

Highly rated for:
All stars

The Michael Bennett books by James Patterson are easily my favorites. The Bennett family provides the warmth and sentiment that balance out the often macabre investigations that Detective Bennett routinely faces.
This book in true Patterson form offers both the excitement of an impending wedding, along with the exhaustion and sorrow that accompanies a serial killer case. I am able to become invested in the well being of the characters as they become as large as life through the authors description. The horror and sadness I feel when one is in danger makes me appreciate all of the effort put into creating and building even the supporting characters such as Detective Hollis.
Definitely recommend this book to any suspense loving reader.
