HOOKED A Thriller About Love and Other Addictions

Listen to the latest from Matt Richtel for a short time--and you're hooked til the end. Richtel's plotting and Kirby Heyborne's narration form a delicious combination. Nat Idle, a medical school graduate, and a journalist of sorts, is nearly killed in a bomb blast that levels an Internet café. Just before the explosion, he's warned to leave via a note purporting to be from his former fiancée. But she disappeared in a boating accident four years earlier. Is she still alive? While the answer is not entirely satisfying, the plotting will keep you guessing. Heyborne delivers a smooth and believable performance that does justice to all the characters.
