About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The 20th novel in the bestselling Alex Cross series.

Detective Alex Cross has three killers to hunt and one to escape....

Three killers are on a rampage and the body count is rising. But even the veteran detective, Alex Cross, can't catch three killers at once.

As he is pulled in every direction by the different investigations, Alex is under more pressure than ever before. And a crisis at home threatens to tear his family apart and pushes him close to the edge.

So close that Alex doesn't realise he's being watched.

Critic reviews

"No one gets this big without amazing natural storytelling talent - which is what Jim has, in spades. The Alex Cross series proves it." (Lee Child, international best-selling author of the Jack Reacher series)

Would you be willing to try another one of Michael Boatman and Steven Boyer ’s performances?

I think it is better when an actual female takes on the voice of a woman - like in MERRY CHRISTMAS ALEX CROSS

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The frustration when Alex was wrongly accused and ended up in a cell

Any additional comments?

I like the fact we see Bree as a detective again in this book and not just Alex's wife (like in the last 2). She was a "super-cop" when he first met her and suddenly, her work wasn't mentioned once they married. Don't like the fact Damien is STILL away from the home (WHY was that ever written in - from a young age too). This is the usual Alex Cross offering - I like the twist where Alex finds himself on the wrong side of the law! I also like the mention of the Charter schools / KIPP schools - well done James!

Decent storyline but it all comes together a little to suddenly and easily at the end. Not in keeping with the build up

Good plot but....
