About this listen
From the celebrated, New York Times bestselling author comes the twisted thriller of an MIT grad student who unwittingly uncovers the hidden connection between the Gardner Museum heist and the most fascinating secret in American history.
THE CARD SHARK: Hailey Gordon is looking to make some fast cash to help pay her tuition when she’s caught counting cards at the Encore casino in Boston. She grabs her winnings and makes her escape. With guards closing in, she dives into an unlocked room to hide . . . only to find a dead body.
THE EX-CON: Recently released from prison, Nick Patterson hasn’t felt hope in a long time, but the job he “inherited” in prison promises to change that. He enters hotel room 633 to find that the person he was supposed to meet has been murdered. Next to the corpse stands a terrified young woman—Hailey Gordon.
THE PROFESSOR: American history professor Adrian Jensen learns of the death of his professional nemesis, Charles Walker, the night after he received Walker’s latest research. Skeptical at first, Adrian nearly deletes the file. But when one small, new detail catches his eye, he makes it his mission to uncover what could be one of the biggest secrets of the Revolutionary War.
All three strangers find themselves on the cusp of an incredible discovery—one that someone is willing to kill to keep buried.

The high-energy tale of how two socially awkward Ivy Leaguers, trying to increase their chances with the opposite sex, ended up creating Facebook. Eduardo Saverin and Mark Zuckerberg were Harvard undergraduates and best friends - outsiders at a school filled with polished prep-school grads and long-time legacies. They shared both academic brilliance in math and a geeky awkwardness with women. The Accidental Billionaires is a compulsively listenable story of innocence lost - and of the unusual creation of a company that has revolutionized the way people relate to one another.

When Browder’s young Russian lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky, was beaten to death in a Moscow jail in 2009, Browder cast aside his business career and made it his life’s mission to pursue justice for Sergei. One of the first steps of that mission was to uncover who had killed Sergei and profited from the $230 million corruption scheme that he had exposed. As Browder and his team tracked the money that flowed out of Russia—through the Baltics and Cyprus and on to Western Europe and the Americas—they discovered that Vladimir Putin himself was one of the beneficiaries of the crime.

Great idea, mediocre approach
I saw this book on a recent trip to Paul Revere’s house. I love the idea of mixing our nation’s history with long lost treasures and intrigues. It’s been done very well before. I picked it up immediately when I saw it.
Throughout the story, an obscene amount of ex machina solutions presented themselves. Things were always just too convenient. Entertaining enough, but very difficult to see past the author’s forced coincidences used to progress the story. And I know this is purely a personal preference, but I was not a fan of the narrator. Too unnecessarily emotive and bouncy. I don’t like false excitement about something as mundane as “and then they walked around the corner.” Emotion in narration is a good tool, but it’s this guy was too upbeat and almost juvenile sounding for a suspense novel. At least for me.
The plot was interesting. I am curious about where the story line will go with the sequel, but not sure I am curious enough to spend money to find out.

Save your credit
I loved Bitcoin Billionaires so much that I bought this title without hesitation. This book was totally disappointing & I kept waiting to get hooked. Never happened.

Weak
The story is weak and the performance amateurish. Sort of like a Marvel mystery. No sense of reality at all!

Not very good
Very disappointing. It had such an intriguing start but honestly failed to capture much excitement or cohesion as it moved forward. Bummed.

Not good
I did not care for the narrator. His character voice for Haley was quite annoying. I’m originally from the Boston area, so I appreciated the historical aspect and the locations. The story was very far-fetched, in my opinion.
