Summary
National Book Awards 2014: Crime/Thriller Book of the Year
Can you commit the perfect crime?
Pilgrim is the code name for a man who doesn't exist. The adopted son of a wealthy American family, he once headed up a secret espionage unit for US intelligence. Before he disappeared into anonymous retirement, he wrote the definitive book on forensic criminal investigation. But that book will come back to haunt him. It will help NYPD detective Ben Bradley track him down. And it will take him to a run-down New York hotel room where the body of a woman is found facedown in a bath of acid, her features erased, her teeth missing, her fingerprints gone. It is a textbook murder - and Pilgrim wrote the book.
What begins as an unusual and challenging investigation will become a terrifying race against time to save America from oblivion. Pilgrim will have to make a journey from a public beheading in Mecca to a deserted ruin on the Turkish coast via a Nazi death camp in Alsace and the barren wilderness of the Hindu Kush in search of the faceless man who would commit an appalling act of mass murder in the name of his god.

Exciting but a bit too full of cliches
Firstly I want to highlight that the only version available on Audible in November 2016 is the full complete book. It is not in two parts like other reviewers have apparently experienced.
It was an entertaining book, good pace and fairly well written. The story was a bit far fetched, and a lot of the science was made up or exaggerated, but I didn't mind that so much. - it's fiction and you just have to go with it and enjoy it.
But I agree with other reviewers that it is rather black and white: The Americans are the heroes against a mostly all, either evil or dumb/corrupt etc world of muslims and Russians.
The narrator was mostly very good, in all the non-accent parts - his voice is clear, easy and pleasant to listen to. But his range of accents is quite limited. He has no idea what a Turkish accent sounds like, which was a bit annoying since the book has quite a lot of Turkish characters. His British accent was terrible as was his Italian.
All in all I would probably still recommend this book as an entertaining listen.

Among the very best.

Pilgrim, as written in the first person, I enjoyed his character and cared about the outcome.

Too many to choose from, all good.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes
Any additional comments?
Only the common complaint of other reviewers "why two books?"
Also, why is this book not in Audibles short list, I definitely would've voted for it!!

A pacey listen but a bit Dan Brown in places
This book starts really well and although I'm not generally a thriller fan I was hooked. Towards the end the quality and believability goes down hill rather but by then you'll probably be hooked anyway.

Good pace and great story weaving
This isn’t something I’d usually read, but I enjoyed the story and thought the author did an excellent job of weaving the different stories within the book together. There are definitely some cliches and stereotypes along the way and a fairly black and white view of characters and nations along the way. But I enjoyed it nevertheless and would recommend.
