About this listen

Detective Alex Cross is back- and he's in love. But his happiness is threatened by a series of chilling murders in Washington, D.C., murders with a pattern so twisted they leave investigators reeling. Cross's pursuit of the killer produces a suspect, a British diplomat named Geoffrey Shafer. But proving he's the murderer becomes a potentially deadly task. As Shafer engages in a brilliant series of surprising countermoves, Alex and his fiance become hopelessly entangled with the most memorable nemesis Cross has ever faced.

I’m obsessed with this series and eager await my monthly token to drop so that I can devour the next thriller in the tale… but this one was awful. Firstly, it’s so much shorter than the others- Alex Cross lovers like me feel like we didn’t get our money’s worth! I also feel like the antagonists were underdeveloped, probably from the shorter length- I definitely didn’t visualise them in the way I’ve lived alongside Sanjee, Casanova, Mr Smith and co. But, most offensively, the inclusion of music, sounds and background effects was so unnecessary. The books are so dramatic that the words create the theatre- no need for this immature inclusion. Perhaps it was a compensation for the slimmer read? A way to enhance the experience in lieu of word-devised imagery? I’m not sure. But I’m sad.

Why the sound effects?!!!

Great performances from all especially the actor portraying the villains perspective. Really enjoyed this one, probably the best installment of the cross series, looking forward to ROSES ARE RED.

Fantastic performances all round

Story & performance- really enjoyed. However, the introduction of background music now & again to induce the mood was rather off putting and slightly corny & old fashioned… which coming from a nearly 70 year old says a lot. I hope they don’t continue this theme through the rest of the series 😬

Another great Alex Cross story

Another gruesome Alex Cross adventure that zips along at quite a pace. So much so, that I found myself wondering if I'd missed an entire book when I realised that the denouement from Cat and Mouse wasn't being mentioned. I shouldn't have worried as it jumps into the story about a third of the way through.
Keith David is a wonderful narrator and is ably assisted by Roger Rees and one other whose name I've yet to find. The different voices make for pleasant side-steps in the narrative. The musical accompaniment was unnecessary, I thought. The narrative and performances are more than enough to set mood and tone.
It's another solid thriller from James Patterson, in a series I'm really enjoying.

Horrifying that the weasel was able to kill for so long but having thought that he was dead, to find he was still alive and had come back to carry on killing, was doubly horrifying!
Happy though that he has found Christine after her kidnapping and she has given birth to their young son Alex.

Horrifying

The story is good but feels a little rushed, I love the Alex Cross books and have read them all. The readers are a little OTT, and the background music is terrible! really frustrating and totally unnecessary, and makes it very dated.

Terrible background music!

Really hated the English narrator and characters. Just so clichéd and out of date. like something from the 1940s. The Interpol English woman spoke like she was landed gentry. Hated the main villain character. Usually love these books. The whole story was ridiculous. And it was abridged for no apparent reason. Maybe that's a blessing.

Awful English voices
