This is a nice little story if you have Audible. I was a little disappointed as reading the first few lines of the blurb for The House of Wolves gave away the ending to this story, but it was still a good ride. As far as I can tell this does exactly what it's supposed to do, set up the novel. House of Wolves by James Patterson - Penguin Books Australia Published: 17 January 2023 ISBN: 9781529136524 Imprint: Century Format: Trade Paperback Pages: 400 RRP: 32.

In this case, I'm glad I read it, there is no major spoiler unless the bad guys are revealed near the middle or end of the novel. Most of them I don't discover until after I read the novel and after reading I'm glad I skipped as the preview gave major spoilers for the novel, like A Witness to a Trial and The Whistler. My thoughts: I have read a few of these, find-out-what-happens-next prequel-novellas.
