Resumen del Editor

The #1 bestselling kid detective is back! Mysteries, crime-solving, homeroom—all in a day's work for Ali Cross.

Ali Cross has always looked up to his father, the famous detective Alex Cross. And after helping to solve two big cases, Ali knows he has what it takes to follow in his father's footsteps. Eager to keep solving crimes, Ali and his friends hack into police calls and go to crime scenes to watch the detectives at work—and try to crack the cases themselves.

But when Ali witnesses something horrible, he has to grapple with tough questions about what it means to be a detective, and a detective's son. Will Ali find a way to follow in his father’s footsteps . . . or will he be the one in danger’s path?

Different opinions

My kids loved it

I thought the story line was the weakest of the three books. I was smeared in the other two but lost interest about half way through. But my boys 9 and 11 thought it was awesome

Awesome

Love it. Can’t wait for the next one. I really love all Alex Cross books.

good book

from 12 year old : Keep up the good work. Entertaining. From Mom:My kid cleaned his entire room for 4 .5 hours. He even dusted. I'm hoping he'll cleAn my room tomorrow while he listens to the next book in the series.

Spoiler Alert-Love This Series-Christine

I absolutely love the Ali Cross series and recommend it for adults and children. I love his friends and especially Cedric. Cedric is like Ali’s version of Sampson! The big dude that looks older than he really is, and defends him. I really miss Ruby though and hope she comes back in the next book. Ali is so mischievous, he lies, and doesn’t listen at all but it’s all in a good way. Hard to be upset with him. I love his personality but I fell in love with him while reading the Alex Cross series. He’s the perfect child to pattern after his father with being a detective. Ali is super intelligent, has a great deal of personality, and isn’t shy at all. You gotta love him! Yes, I am so looking forward to reading Book 4!!

My heart totally melted at the reference of his mother! Christine is my favorite of all Alex’s women, and I hate the way they wrote her in the Alex Cross series. Christine is Ali’s mother and I know she loves him as much as he loves her. When Ali totally made it clear that Bree is his step-mother my heart leaped. I like Bree okay, but she’s not his mom and I don’t like the way Alex treated Christine. However, when Alex and Ali had a moment together and Alex bought up the “sweet reference” of his mother, my heart exploded. It was a perfect moment to reference her, it was just the two of them and they were experiencing a special closeness in that moment! More of this please and thank you!!!

The narrator is perfection. Keep him please and thank you!!!!!

love all Croas Novels but....

Ali is a trip and a bit of a rebel. I loved all of these short stories from his perspective.

love it,!!

I have grown fond of the Ali Cross novels. his character development is on point and realistic. the route Ali is taking is shaping up to be to truly phenomenal. I can't wait to see how far his growth goes and more obstacles he face especially with him getting closer to going to high school. It's a great and face paced read

Unbelievable

Ali Cross is a bright, smart and curious young black man. His father is a renown detective who consults for both the metro PD and the FBI. Ali in this 3rd book of the series has the detective bug.

And this being his 3rd book has disobeyed his Black Police detective daddy numerous times. Before he can serve out one punishment he’s disobeyed his dad again. The last instance there is gunfire.

There is absolutely no way that this young man would continue to be able to do this in a black household. Nope it’s way too far fetched. However the stories are intriguing and the school debate had great thought behind it. I still think James can delve further into this subject. Still worth the read.

Ali Cross: The secret Detective

love it held my attention, excellent performance I love this series.
only thing I hate about audible the audio book cuts off every 20 mins. if that long! I can't enjoy the book without running back to hot play again. 😒

Not as good

My family, children ages 8, 11, 14, enjoyed the previous 2 Ali Cross books. They are fun for a road trip and everyone likes a good who done it book. This third book has more language and scenarios that just didn’t seem necessary for a book geared to children. It’s not horrible, just not what we were looking for or what we expected based on our previous experience. We only made it a few chapters before we turned it off.

Can I get my credit refunded?

I listened to the 1st two books with my 9 year old son, and we enjoyed them. I wish I hadn't wasted an Audible credit on this 3rd book! 😭 Within the first few chapters, the kid uses the word "damn" way too often for me to be ok with my kiddo listening to it. We were really looking forward to listening to this book, but we are incredibly disappointed to have to abandon it before finishing it. I only wish I had read the reviews here on Goodreads before getting it from Audible.
