Publisher's summary

Detective Alex Cross is back, and he's in love. Unfortunately, a series of chilling murders in Washington intervenes, with a plot twist you will never forget. Cross' ingenious pursuit of the quirky killer produces a suspect - a British diplomat named Geoffrey Shafer. But proving that Shafer is the murderer becomes a difficult and deadly task. As the diplomat engages in a brilliant series of surprising countermoves, both in and out of the courtroom, Cross and his fiancei become hopelessly involved with the most memorable villain Cross has ever faced.

Engaging - I made time to listen

I enjoyed the characters and the story a lot and plan to read more - all - of this series. Good balance of time with characters vs the horror of the crimes/criminal psychoses.

Engaging book, distracting narrator

This was an engaging, fast paced book with a solid storyline. James Patterson is so talented.
However, the narrator finished nearly every sentence in a weird, breathy way that was irritating and distracting.

Incredibly Suspenseful!

I've never been the type to pick up a book and read it cover to cover. Audible became my companion while driving over the road. After retiring I lost interest. Patterson has become my newest and safest addiction! 5 🌟 to the Alex Cross series!
