Publisher's summary

“One of the greatest fictional detectives of all time” (Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child) is in the sights of the Dead Hours Killer, a serial murderer on a ruthless mission.

An airport killer targeting pilots expands his scope. Alex Cross Must Die.

“Drop whatever you’re doing, Detective Cross, and head to Reagan Airport,” DC Metro Police dispatch says. “A jet just crashed and exploded on the runway. The chief and the FBI want you and John Sampson there pronto.”

Cross and Sampson race to the crash site. The plane didn’t fail—it was shot down by a stolen Vietnam War–era machine gun.

The list of experts who can operate the weapon is short. And time before another lethal strike runs even shorter. Especially for Detective Cross.

Alex Cross Must Die.

Another great Alex Cross book

Alex cross is my favorite Patterson character out of all his books. This is the first time i have listened to an audio book version. Whilst i didn’t love the various character voices the plot was great.

Engaging but bad child narration

The voice for the child characters was almost unbearably whiny. Two thumbs down. Otherwise narration was excellent. Story engaging with some good twists.

Great book

James Patterson is back. Multiple cases going on at once with twists. Narrators were excellent however the title of the book has nothing to do with the stories

Good

I enjoyed this book. My only complaint is that I like more focus on Alex and less of the narrative jumping from one character or team to another

True Thriller and characters.

Was on the edge of our seat and listened the entire 500 mile drive home. Just how the title was created. Alex Cross was never in danger.

Enjoyed storyline.

Would have liked a different narrator for Bree. Felt this narrator was not connected to the personalities she represented.
