About this listen
An epic case of mistaken identity puts a teen looking for a hookup on the run from both the FBI and a murderous cult in this compulsively listenable thriller.
Finding himself alone in a posh New York City hotel room for the night, Aidan does what any red-blooded 17-year-old would do - tries to hook up with someone new. But that lapse in judgement leads him to a room with a dead guy and a mysterious flash drive...two things that spark an epic case of mistaken identity that puts Aidan on the run - from the authorities, his friends, his family, the people who are out to kill him - and especially from his own troubled past.
Inspired by a Hitchcock classic, this whirlwind mistaken-identity caper has razor-sharp humor, devastating emotional stakes, and a thrilling storyline with an explosive conclusion to make this the most compelling YA novel of 2019.

Story
Dr. Dylan Reinhart wrote the book on criminal behavior. Literally - he's a renowned, best-selling Ivy League expert on the subject. When a copy of his book turns up at a gruesome murder scene - along with a threatening message from the killer - it looks like someone has been taking notes. Elizabeth Needham is the headstrong and brilliant NYPD Detective in charge of the case who recruits Dylan to help investigate another souvenir left at the scene - a playing card. Another murder, another card - and now Dylan suspects that the cards aren't a signature, they're a deadly hint.

Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

Victor Li is devastated by his father’s murder and shocked by a confessional letter he finds among his father’s things. In it, his father admits he was never just a restaurateur - he was part of a vast international crime syndicate that formed during China’s leanest communist years. Victor travels to Beijing, where he navigates his father’s secret criminal life, confronting decades-old grudges, violent spats, and a shocking new enterprise that the organization wants to undertake. Standing up against it is likely what got his father killed, but Victor remains undeterred.

Critic reviews
"I read it in one sitting because I couldn't tear myself away. A funny, sexy knockout of a book, and a new pinnacle for page-turning gay YA for me. I'm obsessed." (Cale Dietrich, author of The Love Interest)
"Equal parts hilarious and heart racing, Swipe Right for Murder crackles with enough energy to rival its New York City backdrop." (Kara Thomas, author of The Cheerleaders and The Darkest Corners)
"What could have been just a clever reconstruction of classic mystery conventions is elevated by wry humor and genuine emotional intensity. As a thriller, it's twisted and engaging; as a character study, it has lingering, affecting aftershocks." (Booklist *starred review*)

What a Ride!
I'll admit: I had a hard time sympathizing with, and connecting to, Aidan at first: his status, his friends, his whole world... but very quickly, I found myself immersed in a whirlwind of high-stakes action and thrills. The novel is political and poignant. Aidan quickly becomes a character for whom you are rooting, someone for whom you care a great deal. He is complicated, wounded, and, at his core, he's longing to be loved.
At various points throughout the narrative, I found myself wholly engaged. I laughed several times--Milman knows how to navigate humor--and I even found myself replaying a scene at one point. Aidan shares great chemistry with a whole list of the novel's characters, from his best friend, Jackson, to the mysterious Shiloh. The antagonist of the novel is also strangely provocative, further shaped by the brilliance of the narrator (Jay Ben Markson's voice is very smooth and refined -- easy on the ears).
I loved this novel. Milman definitely has a way with words--his voice oscillates between lightheartedness and the visceral--and he has clearly researched the world of cyberterrorism and espionage. I am definitely a fan, and I would love to give this novel a read/listen again in the future!

Just didn't care for it.
Just not my type of book. I also have no desire to hear about anyone 17 hooking up every chance they get,
let alone with your best friends father. And he is underage but gets to drink at restaurants and even though
the author tried to explain it, this 17 year old is better trained than trained criminals? Just a little too far fetched.
Nah...Just didn't buy it.

Hey OK I've been a massive James Patterson fan for years not sure what was going on in this book it wasn't attention gripping despite the title seeming like it is I barely made it to chapter 5 before i started to dose and fall asleep Hey I did try to make this book work and try to get through it but I just couldn't get and if im having to force myself to listen/read it just to see if anything is going to happen its just not worth it.........as much as i love james patterson and his usual work this one was a no for me.
