THE FIRST GENTLEMAN

The latest political thriller by Bill Clinton and James Patterson comes alive through the dynamic performances of a skilled team of narrators. The plot revolves around First Gentleman Cole Wright, who is on trial for the unsolved murder of a New England Patriots cheerleader during his days as an NFL star. Spanning the years between the crime and the trial, the story follows journalists Brea Cooke and Garrett Wilson, who are both convinced of Wright's guilt. Narrators Aja Naomi King, Saskia Maarleveld, Will Collyer, and James Fouhey deliver strong, distinctive performances, working seamlessly together. King's portrayal of Brea--intelligent, inquisitive, and emotionally grounded--stands out and gives the audiobook its compelling heart. D.J.S. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2025]
