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)

I’m really enjoying these books, they’re easy to listen to, Alex is a great character, fantastic performance and very entertaining/ great storyline- I would definitely recommend them (especially if you like a series of books- I finished the Cormoran Strike series and thankfully found this)

Love the Alex Cross series

The third Alex Cross adventure is another gripping, dark thriller in a series I'm beginning to really enjoy. Shocking in places and perhaps guilty of one-twist-too-many at the end, this is a solid, and thoroughly enjoyable thriller. It keeps its secrets well and the reader guessing for much of the narrative.
The story rolls along at a fair pace, and, once again, Ako Mitchell's performance is top-class.
Can't wait to start the next book...

Complex, convoluted and compulsive

A good yarn but there's a habit of points being repeated which can be irksome.

Familiar

There is no doubt this book is a brilliant read. A class JP right to the end, with twists and turns right along the way.
What let this audiobook down however is the audio itself. Don't get me wrong Ako Mitchell is a good actor, but he didn't read or sound right as an audio for Alex Cross. You couldn't hear the compassion that Alex has etc, he sounded more arrogant. Also why was Soneji pronounced so weirdly? This was really irritating and distracting. Or the voice he uses for Sampson its just not as JP described but that's me nit picking.
All in all this book is a definite read in the series, but if you can you might want to read it for yourself.
