About this listen
When a woman overhears a murder plot on her morning commute, she races to stop it—only to be pulled in deeper than she ever could have imagined.
Amy Nichols (Lizzy Caplan) was an FBI agent with a dogged need to protect everyone—until that instinct caused her to mishandle a crisis, lose innocent lives, and lose her job. Now a civilian working in private security, that mistake still haunts her.
One morning on the commuter train, she overhears a young couple plotting a murder. Ignoring warnings from her family and friends, Amy’s instinct to protect and serve compels her to investigate. But the further she goes, the more she finds her own life in danger.
Filled with mystery, suspense, and more twists and turns than a rail line, The Commuter is a gripping thriller by James Patterson, the world’s best-selling author.
Available in Dolby Atmos on Audible.

Typical Patterson fluff
Acting and production are worth listening to but it is the typical Patterson fluff. Over the top characters, overblown dialogues, barely credible premise and storyline. It reminds me of 80’s cop shows with their cliche storylines and cardboard cutout characters. No wonder Stephen King dislikes his works and calls his writing formulaic. Can Audible do something else now than Patterson?

Not long enough!
A clever and funny production. Lizzy Caplan's performance was particularly good. Really enjoyed the story and wished it was longer!

Richard sciff was the highlight.
I felt like Amy's character is constantly yelling and wasnt very likeable. Sorry was fine but predictable but also unbelievable. The motivation for the two main villains just didn't gel for me.

Brilliant story and performances
Really enjoyed this performance of the commuter.
The cast made it entertaining and thrilling to listen to. The story its self was good and I did not guess the ending.
