The Blue Zone Audiobook Summary

From the number one New York Times bestselling coauthor of Judge & Jury and Lifeguard comes this electrifying solo debut, The Blue Zone.

Kate Raab’s life seems almost perfect: her boyfriend, her job, her family . . . until her father runs into trouble with the law. His only recourse is to testify against his former accomplices in exchange for his family’s placement in the Witness Protection Program. But one of them gets cold feet. In a flash, everything Kate can count on is gone.

Now, a year later, her worst fears have happened: Her father has disappeared–into what the WITSEC agency calls “the blue zone”–and someone close to him is found brutally murdered. With her family under surveillance, the FBI untrustworthy, and her father’s menacing “friends” circling with increasing intensity, Kate sets off to find her father–and uncover the secrets someone will kill to keep buried.

It is right up there with all the otherAndrew Gross tales and will keep you turning pages. I gave it a 5.

Another terrific read by Andrew Gross. No wonder James Patterson asked Andrew to work with him. I read several of the books he wrote with Patterson and thought the Murder Club was wonderful when Patterson began it himself. Andrew did not miss a beat when he took over the writing of books 2 & 3. I loved the series and followed it after Maxine Paetro took over. However, I was disappointed by unrealistic relationship between Lindsay and Joe in 11th Hour and the series fell of my list after I had to force myself to finish the disjointed 12th of Never-- the unrealistic male attitude was unsatisfying. Gross is my new favorite. Of the 8 stand alone novels, there was only one I could not rate a 4 or 5 star--the was Eyes Wide Open--it just wasn't for me. No Way Back is my absolute favorite. It is one I wished I had written. This book is being adapted for an ABC TV series--really looking forward to it. I thought I read all of the Gross books but found I missed one which I have just ordered I have also pre-ordered his most recent which will be launched in April. His page turning suspense novel have a moral or family core which can be counted upon.

4,5 sterren - Nederlandse paperback Quote blz 8: " Ja" moppelde Varga, " Vwrtel je broers over mij". Hij draaide zich weer naar de oude man. Kijk dan, klootzakken, zelfs dood ben je nog gevaarlijk.Quote blz 29: Diabetes type 1. De heftige variant. Kate was in eerste instantie een beetje gedeprimeerd geraakt. Haar leven veranderde radicaal. Ze most stoppen met voetbal en goed in de gaten houden wanneer ze at, terwijl iedereen om haar heen pizza's naar binnen werkte en op zaterdag avond uit zijn dak ging.Wat een geweldig, goed geschreven verhaal. Grotendeels verteld uit de ik-vorm KATE. Kate heeft een vader met een verleden.Het sleept haar familie in witness protection. En dan begint de rollercoaster echt. Pagina naar pagina plot twists.De korte hoofdstukken maken het makkelijk om te lezen. En het einde, die zag ik niet aan komen. Ik had wel vermoedens, .aar het uiteindelijke eind, dat het toch nog een staartje.

Kate is forced to navigate her past to piece together what’s really going on.. and NO ONE is exactly who you think they are.

A very well written book from Andrew Gross who probably become well known through writing for the James Patterson factory.An excellent writer who deserves fame for his own work.I offer praise to James Patterson for introducing me to author Andrew Gross who writes excellent historical fiction novels. I now read Andrew Gross novels instead of the James Patterson production line of novels that I find very hit and miss.

I really enjoy Andrew Gross' writing. Although this was not my favorite, it was full of twisty plots and surprises all the way through. I couldn't put it down. The main character, Kate, is engaged as the book opens, and her family is a well to do Jewish family, with her father a successful gold and gem merchant.

Excellent book from someone who wrote a few best sellers with my favorite author James Patterson. This book asks and answers the question, "Do we really know someone?"Does the truth really matter? Family must come first, but which family?Blue Zone is a page turner in the classic Patterson fashion. I look forward to reading more of Andrew's writing.

Andrew Gross has teamed up with James Patterson on several novels. I've read those involving the "Women's Murder Club" and enjoyed them. I believe this is Andrew's first solo novel. None the less; I found this to be a very enjoyable read. Looking forward to his next book.
