Roses Are Red

De: James Patterson

Narrado por: Keith David, Jason Culp

A brilliant criminal known only as the Mastermind orchestrates a series of bank robberies that are notable for their very precise demands - and their explosive violence when the demands are not met exactly. Detective Alex Cross takes on the case and recognizes that a particular kind of criminal mind is at work. But before he gets near identifying a suspect, the Mastermind pulls off the most outrageous kidnapping scheme in U.S. history - and walks away with the largest ransom ever paid.

But money is not enough. Alex Cross' investigation has gotten under the Mastermind's skin, and he makes it his personal goal to take revenge on Cross' entire team, one person at a time - before coming after Cross himself.

Amid all this, Cross' relationship with his girlfriend Christine is falling apart because of her fears about his work, and his beloved daughter Jannie is hospitalized with unexplained seizures. The pressure rises on every front, until an explosive, shocking climax in which the Mastermind escalates his crimes to an unprecedented level, and Alex Cross risks everything to stop him in time.

Bonus! This program includes a preview of Patterson's next audiobook, First to Die.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Offers plenty of surprises, action, and emotional upheavals to delight and terrify." (AudioFile)

love Keith David's narration

Loved this book. I knew I would. I can't get enough of the complexity that is Alex Cross!!

Who-dun-it?

Good story that kept me interested. However, it ended too abruptly. It needed one more chapter to finish the story and catch the killer. Contained a few profane words that could have been omitted.

Love this book

This was the first book that got me started on the Patterson series. If you have not heard all his books then get started!
