About this audiobook

THE INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER

“One of the more surprising double-reverse plot twists...in some time.” —The New York Times

In this “propulsive, page-turning, compelling, fragmentation grenade of a debut thriller” (C.J. Box, #1 New York Times bestselling author), a deadly plot against the president’s life emerges from the shadows of the Deep State.

Recently elected President Richard Monroe—populist, controversial, and divisive—is at the center of an increasingly polarized Washington, DC. Never has the partisan drama been so tense or the paranoia so rampant. In the midst of contentious political turf wars, the White House chief of staff is found dead in his house and West Wing intern and ex-Army grunt Hayley Chill is positive that it’s not from natural causes.

Determined to find the truth, Hayley uncovers shocking evidence that a wide-ranging conspiracy is running beneath the surface of DC in an effort to undermine the rule of law—and democracy itself. Soon, Hayley is in a race against time to reveal the truth and save the life of the next victim: the president.

Deep State rings eerily true [and] will keep you turning pages well into the night” (Jack Carr, former Navy SEAL and author of The Terminal List).

    Don’t waste your time. It’s so bad that I laughed out loud several time. A review requires more effort than it’s worth. Read something good like: I Am Pilgrim, Red Sparrow, The Gray Man series or the Orphan X series. Thank me later.

    Very enjoyable thriller. Don’t want to say too much for fear of spoiling anything. Definitely worth a read (or listen).

    Intriguing story line. A bit shallow in parts, but the ending was unexpected. Too much gratuitous sex - but maybe salacious material is a marketing requirement?!

    The story line was original and interesting. The conclusion was a good surprise. The only issue I had listening was the narrator’s voice being very feminine during a masculine part. I may be conditioned for a masculine voice. Excellent planning in the story’s phases.

    It kept me guessing throughout the book. And I enjoyed Hailey and how she was truly “chill” like her last name. The whole security etc of the White House was interesting. I’m very interested and involved in politics and now I’m hoping there is another book to follow Hailey’s next adventure!

    Solid political thriller ruined by totally unneeded silly ending.

    2/5
    Very gratuitous story. It felt extremely juvenile to me. The underlined story needed to be built out way more than it was. It is a very thin premise and the author’s attempts at cleverness seem so contrived. Even though this was included in my subscription, I feel kind of ripped off. At least it was relatively short.
