Publisher's Summary
Jenna Wade has it all. A devoted husband. Two precocious children. A wildly successful mother. A beautiful house in one of the most desirable beach towns on the planet.
And seven hours to live.
Kidnappers grabbed Jenna in broad daylight, right in front of her children and their horrified classmates. Her family was issued an insane ransom demand: $25 million in cash and jewels, payable by the end of the school day, otherwise they’ll never see her again.
As Jenna’s mother scrambles to gather the money, detectives Mo Butler and George Ortega follow the trail of the kidnappers, which will lead them through a sordid landscape of jealous lovers, broken dreamers, and twisted schemers.
But every second counts, and there’s one thing Jenna Wade doesn’t have: very much time.
Between competing detectives and colorful locals, everyone has a theory about who is behind this unthinkable crime. But things may not be as they seem ... will you be able to solve the puzzle before time runs out?
From the world’s bestselling author comes a fast-paced, unpredictable thriller starring Emmy-winner Sarah Paulson (American Crime Story), Dan Stevens (Downton Abbey), Patina Miller (The Hunger Games), Mel Rodriguez (Better Call Saul), and more in this year's standout performances.

Just okay
Not the author’s best work - just sort of meh. Plot is okay but characters are quite one-dimensional.

Moderately Overproduced Screenplay
This Duane Swierczynski offering (released under the James Patterson penumbra) was clearly written with a film presentation in mind. He includes overdubbed commentary with scene shifts - and tries to incorporate setting and description into the dialogue - but also includes action-heavy events that scream for a set director. The plotting - about the kidnapping of a "Real Housewives Of.. wherever" clone - is impressive (competing investigator tandems squabbling over jurisdiction and pursuing separate leads is unique & works well). It's just that the format isn't right.
As to presentation: Audible Originals Inc. populated the project nicely with an admirable full cast.. but also overmodulated telephone dialogue and inserted street noises/children screaming/etc during the "bang-ahh!!-bang" action sequences.
Altogether, '7 Hours To Die' wasn't a crazy way to spend a couple of hours. It's a 6/10-star offering that I appreciated finding on the 'Plus' menu. If they ask for a Credit, better options beckon.

Great listen!
A tense twisty thriller, and a fine way to spend a few hours. A well performed play by a small professional cast written by one of the best.

Story line was weak in the possibility scale
I heard that this author was really good but I was not impressed much. That bar must be pretty sound proof if in the middle of a school day, 4 people can be shot several times inside and out side and no one hears anything?? Acting was great but the sound people should not have had typewriter sounds in a police station unless this was decades ago. Since the police car had a locator that does not seem likely. Take away those issues and the story would have been pretty good.

Entertaining but somewhat predictable
Great cast, good production. I love these short stories that are intense and wrap up quickly; they fit perfectly in my daily routine. The story here is one that you could have guessed from a mile away with a few improbabilities, but it didn't take away from my enjoyment of listening to it.

Time filler
This filled up two and a half hours but if you think how to fill two hours of movie or two hours of television, I feel a lot more can get across. Not upset that I gave it a chance, but I would consider this forgettable and not something I’d return to.
Patterson should stick to straight prose.

Really Good
Found this as I was listening to previews. It can up as a book I might enjoy and I really did. At the edge of my seat the entire time.
