About this audiobook
The next explosive book in James Patterson's number-one best-selling Private series!
For Hannah Shapiro, a beautiful young American student, this particular nightmare began eight years ago in Los Angeles, when Jack Morgan, owner of Private – the world's most exclusive detective – saved her from a horrific death. She has fled her country, but can't flee her past. The terror has followed her to London, and now it is down to former Royal Military Police Sergeant Dan Carter, head of Private London, to save her all over again.
In central London, young women are being abducted off the street. When the bodies are found some days later, they have been mutilated in a particularly mysterious way. Dan Carter's ex-wife, DI Kirsty Webb, is involved in the investigation and it looks likely that the two cases are gruesomely linked.
Dan Carter drawn on the whole resources of Private International in a desperate race against the odds. But the clock is ticking...
Private may be the largest and most technologically advanced detection agency in the world, but the one thing they don't have is the one thing they need – time.
A Hachette Audio production.

Reviews for Private London
160 ratings14 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Patterson (or 'team' Patterson, since apparently there are a lot of people whose writing gets squashed into the pen name Patterson) still annoys me with those super short chapters, I suppose intended to convey heightened tension, but that feel cheap and unnecessary. This book wasn't as bad as some, though, and the twist near the end is pretty good. Overall, this book reminded me a bit of an NCIS episode, and I'm not sure yet which writing team I think told the story better. This is a decent book, if you are looking for an adventure novel that is absorbing but that doesn't require complete concentration. It looks long, but is a very fast read (partly because after a while the chapters are all pretty short, leaving lots of white space and making the pages turn faster.)
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Not as good as the first
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Nice who done it plot with many twists. Interesting lead character with other characters well developed.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Really wasn't that impressed with this book in the series. It took me a while to work my way thru it because it really did not hold my interest.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Liked this one the most in the series so far. The storyline grabbed my attention and held it.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/56 out of 10 The second book in the private series that I have read. I'm currently on a James Patterson marathon. This book is OK. I quite liked it. It was fast paced and mostly easy to follow. As mentioned in previous reviews of this book, there is so much going on though. It all takes place in just over 48 hours but so much occurs in that time. However the tell tale Patterson short chapters soon have me hooked and I finished it in a short time. I will be reading the next few in series as I already have them.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Two stories rolled into one. Hard to follow all the characters. The story starts out with a young girl, Hannah Shapiro, who is kidnapped along with her mother. Hannah witnesses her mother being raped then brutally murdered because Hannah's father won't pay the ransom. Several years later, Dan Carter is hired to "watch over" Hannah while she attends school in London. There are many twists and turns in this story which makes it hard to follow.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is one of the better James Patterson books I've read or listened to in a while. It was fast-paced all of his books though I think they did a decent job of giving it a London feel. This one had 2 different stories running at the same time. A girl is kidnapped and 2 others are injured and two other women are found dead, mutilated and missing a finger. Everyone is hoping they aren't related.The whole story takes place in about 3 days so it is pretty fast-paced and keeps your interest going. I listened to this one while commuting and it certainly helped the miles fly by.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Mass produced fluff, but a quick and enjoyable read. He's churning out these Private titles at a ridiculous rate with the co writers. Liked the character development here but he left some plots unfinished. What was the explosion in the underground if it wasn't either Shapiro?
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I thought that this was one of Patterson's better books and I don't know if I should attribute that to him or his co-author. It had the typical short chapters and was a page-turner. However, the thing that intregued me most was that there were several plot twists in the last 1/3rd of the book that I never saw coming. I hope that this co-author continues to write w/ Patterson on future books.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Not quite up the normal James Patterson but still a good read. I thought the ending became rushed but was explained later so alls forgiven!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Another great book in the Private series. This one concentrates on the London office and Dan Carter who heads up that location for Jack Morgan. He is supposed to protect an American girl who is headed to London for college. She is kidnapped and all hell breaks loose. True Patterson style there are twist and turns, people don't appear to be who they are and he keeps you guessing until the very end. I really enjoyed this book and recommend the Private series if you like the Alex Cross series.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This series is so full of edge of the seat action. I listen to this series because I am also a lover of great accents. DI Dan Carter has a very strong accent. :) The London story doesn't miss out on any of what we would expect from a James Patterson novel. The man is (in my opinion) gifted.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I have not read Patterson before. And after this book I won´t be reading more. A lot of fluff punctuated by a so so plot. Nothing new or surprising here.
