'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

Detective Alex Cross is stretched to breaking point as two killers hit Washington, DC

A controversial senator is found murdered in his bed. On the other side of town, a young girl has been savagely killed. Under pressure to solve both cases, Cross is faced with an impossible choice.

No one in Washington is safe, but can Cross discover the truth before the killers set their sights on their ultimate target?

Critic reviews

Fine, full-blooded entertainment from start to finish.
Captivating . . . As always, Patterson provides a fast-paced thriller full of surprising but realistic plot twists . . . Cross is one of the best and most likable characters in the modern thriller genre.
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)
Twenty years ago, 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)
Alex Cross is a legend. (HARLAN COBEN)
James Patterson is The Boss. End of. (IAN RANKIN, bestselling author of the Inspector Rebus series)
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)
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)

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

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

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

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.

James Patterson to a tee
