Narrated by the talented Matthew Wolf and K.C. Clyde, this audiobook by James Patterson takes us on a thrilling journey through one of the most significant true-crime stories in music history. With a length of 8 hours and 55 minutes, you'll have plenty of time to immerse yourself in the gripping tale.
Imagine this: it's the summer of 1980, a full decade after the iconic Beatles disbanded. John Lennon, a global superstar and former member of the band, signs with a new record label and is ready to unleash his creative genius once again. His fans are ecstatic when he effortlessly produces the hit song '(Just Like) Starting Over', proving that he's back and better than ever.
But lurking in the shadows is a dangerously obsessed fan named Mark David Chapman. Ever since Lennon's departure from the Beatles, Chapman has developed an unhealthy fixation on the musician. He believes that Lennon has squandered his talent and betrayed his fans, and he's hell-bent on taking drastic measures to make his point known.
In a chilling twist, Chapman boards a plane from Hawaii to New York City with a loaded gun hidden in his luggage. This journey will mark the beginning of a series of events that will stun the world.
Prepare yourself to be captivated as Patterson delves deep into the minds of these two men who changed history. You'll gain insight into Lennon's life, thanks to exclusive interviews with his friends and associates, including the legendary Paul McCartney. As the story unfolds, you'll witness the dark web of obsession and betrayal that led to a murder that shook the world.
James Patterson, known for his fast-paced and no-frills storytelling, brings his signature style to this true-crime drama audiobook. Through occasional chapters from Chapman's point of view, perfectly narrated by Matthew Wolf, you'll step into the mind of a delusional villain who is building up the courage to carry out his deadly plan.
So, if you're a fan of intense thrillers mixed with a pinch of true-crime twist, then I highly recommend listening to 'The Last Days of John Lennon'. While the audiobook rating may not be off the charts, this is one story that will stick with you long after you've hit pause.
