Having recently discovered James Patterson's experimentation in 'direct to audio’ work, I was pleased to get my hands on this piece. It brings to life a new series that has a great deal of potential, working with collaborators Aaron Tracy and Ryan Silbert. The story is layered with a great plot and some sensational character interactions, which is intensified by the audio. While the Chicago PD is not known for its simple cases, this one is particularly tough. Thank goodness Detectives Billy and Patti Harney are working it as best they can. When Billy’s partner gets too deep while undercover, she needs to be extracted, but that only leads to added issues. Billy soon realises that there is a powerful list of names in a secret book, ones that could lead to the death of countless others if it falls into the wrong hands. Patterson wins with this one, in a story that comes to life through audio.

For thirty years, Bruno's boss, Chief of Detectives Jalipeau, known as J-J, has been obsessed with his first case. It was never solved and Bruno knows that this failure continues to haunt J-J. A young male body was found in the woods near St Denis and never identified. For all these years, J-J has kept the skull as a reminder. He calls him 'Oscar'. Walker includes French history, it’s culture, architecture, international intrigue, espionage, the Cold War and more importantly, wine and food! The culinary descriptions are enticing, so much that I have cooked roast lamb, vichyssoise and omelettes as soon as I read about these delicious dishes.

When I dove into that, I was like, ‘Oh my God, I didn’t realize that audio storytelling could really take you on such an insane ride,’” he says. “You could do it while you’re driving, you could it while you’re hiking, you could do it while you’re running. That’s what’s really exciting ...I think Audible gives the public an opportunity to plug and play. Like, ‘You know what? I’ve always wanted to read a book, but it’s a little scary. So, let me just go on a hike and press play and just be taken on a journey.’” Serial's 'The Coldest Case in Laramie' reinvestigates Shelli Wiley's unsolved murder in 1985". Podsauce.

The woman had a memory of being sent a letter with a bunch of money and a warning to skip town not long after the murder. The message had seared into her brain for decades. But as revealed through Barker's reporting, few things about that memory are what they seem. Barker later presents the woman with pieces of evidence that radically challenge her core memory.
