You've Been Warned

by James Patterson and Howard Roughan
Read by Ilyana Kadushin



      James Patterson and Howard Roughan bring readers and listeners an eerie, unforgettable mystery.

Listeners of Hachette's audio version follow the haunting lilt of Ilyana Kadushin's voice as she brings young Kristin Burns to life. Kristin is a budding photographer in NYC. She's making ends meet with a side job as a nanny. The couple she works for is very rich. Michael, the husband, woos her into an affair. The wife, whom Kristin has dubbed "the Pencil," is stereotypical raised rich, living rich, all-about-me rich. It's difficult to like her, but even more so with Michael, an intelligent man born with the gift of manipulation.

This strange mystery begins when Kristin wakes screaming from a nightmare to face an angry neighbor. This mere brush with reality does nothing to stop the music only she can continues to hear or the vision of the four dead bodies in her nightmare. Later, on her way to work, Kristin witnesses the nightmare first hand. The scene follows her throughout the week, and worse, it's topped off with unexpected visitors, morbid pictures and strange occurrences. Where is it all coming from? Is she losing her mind?

You've Been Warned will keep you spellbound. Kadushin's haunting voice is spot on, and the echoing numbers set the skin-crawling tone for each chapter. It's all pretty creepy... Armchair sleuths will appreciate the subtle red herrings -I know I did. Remember your headphones; you don't want to ruin the storyline for someone else.
