James Brendan Patterson is an American author and philanthropist. It was Patterson who first showed that television advertising could work for books. More radically, he has demonstrated that working with co‑writers can dramatically multiply sales. Patterson has been criticized for co-authoring many of his books and for being more of a brand that focuses on making money than an artist who focuses on his craft. By the early 1990s, Patterson had modified his approach to writing fiction, adopting a style characterized by unadorned prose, bite-sized chapters, and fast-paced streamlined plots. Realizing the sales potential of this formula, he contributed to the promotion of his novel Along Came a Spider by taking the unusual step of creating and financing a television commercial for it. The book, a grisly thriller featuring African American homicide detective Alex Cross, became an instant bestseller, and its protagonist resurfaced in more than a dozen other sequels, including Kiss the Girls, Mary, Mary, Cross, Kill Alex Cross, Alex Cross, Run, and Cross the Line. In Now You See Her, James Patterson takes you through one of his most suspended filled stories. Lawyer Nina Bloom seems to have the perfect life in New York. And she’s willing to lie to anyone and everyone to keep it that way and protect herself and her daughter from her dark past. But when an innocent man is accused of murder, Bloom is forced to confront the life she thought she’d left behind… Enjoy free online English audiobook “Now You See Her”, a novel by James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge.
