About this audiobook
From the mega-bestselling author of The O'Reilly Factor, The No Spin Zone, and Who's Looking Out for You?, a mystery thriller about the fast-paced and ruthless world of TV journalism.
With three consecutive number one bestsellers, Bill O'Reilly has proved that he's the king of the nonfiction list. With Those Who Trespass, he extends his bestselling domain to fiction, giving readers a novel that's an exciting look into the no-holds-barred world of television news.
One by one, high-level executives and correspondents are being murdered. Soon it becomes clear that the killings are linked, the work of a bitter former newsman exacting revenge on those who derailed his career. Tommy O'Malley, a tough but warmhearted New York City detective, is assigned to crack the widening, high-profile murder cases, but encounters competition from a beautiful and tenacious tabloid reporter, Ashley Van Buren. As the story unfolds, Tommy and Ashley quickly discover they've got much more in common than a knack for solving crimes.
Those Who Trespass combines suspense, action, psychodrama, and romance with a fascinating glimpse into the harsh realities behind the delivery of our daily dose of television news--a picture only Bill O'Reilly could bring to life.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I remember hearing years ago in a writing class that there are character-driven novels and plot-driven novels. In Chapter 1, I feared this was going to be a plot driven novel. The writing was very distant and stilted. I don't know if the author kowtowed to the "drop readers right into the action" push or if it was a deliberate hint about who the killer is.Eventually the novel does become more character driven which made it more enjoyable for me. Someone is killing people with ties to television. We're left with two potential suspects eventually but the identity of the killer isn't kept hidden from readers until the end with a big reveal. Narcissism is discussed--and sadly I can say that I personally know someone who had some of these traits (not killing as far as I know, but the ability to twist situations so that others appeared to be wronging him and the ability to get others to do things they might otherwise not do through the power of persuasion/personality). And you do feel fooled when you realize it.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5O'Reilly writes about things he knows and understands in this novel. I've found the audio version quite engaging - mostly because the author is reading it and giving it the emphasis that he no doubt intended as he wrote it. I can picture his expressions as he describes various characters and their reactions. The one surprise was just how sexy ol' Bill can be! Oh, and oh, so creative in devising methods for revenge murder. I especially liked the "silver spoon in his mouth." While the plot is somewhat predictable, there are moments when the author's imagination delivers some surprises.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This was better than I was expecting. The story line was fairly solid, and I found the peek into journalism interesting, since I don’t read much that provides any insight into that world. However, you really have to get past the writing style. Or rather, the lack of one. It reminds me of something I would have written in high school or college. Just not very sophisticated at all. If I hadn’t been grabbed by the plot, I wouldn’t have finished it.
