THE SUNDAY TIMES NO. 1 BESTSELLER

The President's children have been kidnapped.

Detective Alex Cross is investigating the shocking crime, but someone powerful is trying to keep him off the case.

Just days later, a deadly contagion in the DC water supply threatens to cripple the capital, and Cross fears that the stakes are much higher than he first thought - America is under attack.

If Cross stands a chance of finding the missing children and preventing an event that could change the fate of the nation, he must make a desperate decision that goes against everything he believes in.

Critic reviews

Kill Alex Cross is a thriller with family at its heart... Underneath the fast-and-furious action, Patterson is exploring what it means to be a father, a man and, ultimately, a human being in an increasingly complex and dangerous world. (WASHINGTON POST)
It's no mystery why James Patterson is the world's most popular thriller writer: his uncanny skill in creating living, breathing characters we truly feel for and seamless, lightning-fast plots. I do this for a living, and he still manages to keep me guessing from the first to last page ... Simply put: Nobody does it better. (JEFFERY DEAVER)
Behind all the noise and the numbers, we shouldn't forget that 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, bestselling author of the Jack Reacher series)
James Patterson is The Boss. End of. (IAN RANKIN, bestselling author of the Inspector Rebus series)
I wrote, "Along Came a Spider is the best thriller I've come across in many a year. It deserves to be this season's no. 1 bestseller and should instantly make James Patterson a household name." A household name, indeed. (NELSON DEMILLE)
Every once in a while a writer comes along and fundamentally changes the way people read. He or she is so bright, so innovative, so industrious that what they envision and create becomes the measure by which all others are judged. In 1993 one such writer - James Patterson - began to do just that ... James Patterson is the gold standard by which all others are judged. (STEVE BERRY, bestselling author of the Colton Malone series)
[Alex Cross] has become one of the greatest fictional detectives of all time, a character for the ages. (DOUGLAS PRESTON and LINCOLN CHILD)
Alex Cross is a legend. (HARLAN COBEN)
Patterson boils a scene down to the single, telling detail, the element that defines a character or moves a plot along. It's what fires off the movie projector in the reader's mind. (MICHAEL CONNELLY)
Patterson knows where our deepest fears are buried... there's no stopping his imagination. (NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW)

Enjoyable book and very easy to listen to unlike some books on here. When I fell asleep and missed chapters it was super easy to search and pick up from where left off. I used to read James Patterson`s Alex Cross books many years ago and this was a welcome nostalgic journey from a time that I could fit into skinny clothes and pre the constant use of my iphone for FOMO (fear of missing out) of something in the world, friends lives, etc.
On a side note at one stage I wanted to throttle Alex`s annoying grandma along with a heinous aberration of voiced character. Just saying! I mean Alex works hard and she takes some serious liberties!

Easy to listen and a likeable main character, Alex

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Found it hard to follow the characters as voice made them hard to distinguish between them at times so I seemed to get lost. Story was ok but not the performance which spoilt it for me.

Hard to follow
