Publisher's Summary

Detective Alex Cross is one of the first on the scene of the biggest case he’s ever been part of. The President’s son and daughter have been abducted from their school – an impossible crime, but somehow the kidnapper has done it. Alex does everything he can but is shunted to the fringes of the investigation. Someone powerful doesn’t want Cross too close.

A deadly contagion in the DC water supply threatens to cripple the capital, and Alex sees the looming shape of the most devastating attack the United States has ever experienced. He is already working flat-out on the abduction, and this massive assault pushes Cross completely over the edge.

With each hour that passes, the chance of finding the children alive diminishes. In an emotional private meeting, the First Lady asks Alex to please save her kids. But even the highest security clearance doesn’t get him any closer to the kidnapper – and Alex makes a desperate decision that goes against everything he believes in.

A full-throttle thriller with unstoppable action, unrestrained emotion, and relentless suspense, Kill Alex Cross is the most gripping Alex Cross novel James Patterson has ever written.

Loved the book

Must say the Alex Cross series is just getting better and better and enjoyed every minute of the book

Fast paced action, suspense & excellent narration.

This book is hard to put down. It engages the reader from start to finish. A polished production and narration that I found very appealing have induced me to immediately start my next Alex Cross adventure.

Only if it was narrated by different people

What did you like best about this story?

It always kept moving forward at a fast pace. Wanted to keep listening.

Did Andre Braugher and Zach Grenier do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

While these gentlemen did a good job. I am afraid I have heard better. I very much like the narrator from

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

If you can

a bit disappointed!

I didn't enjoy this as much as some of the others. It got a bit bogged down in technology and periferal stuff to the detriment and neglect of the personalities involved. James, lets get back to Alex, his wife and his life within the plot and a bit more involvement and empathy with the victims would have made for a more interesting read/listen.

Hard to follow

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Found it hard to follow the characters as voice made them hard to distinguish between them at times so I seemed to get lost. Story was ok but not the performance which spoilt it for me.

Good story.

I enjoyed this book. In my opinion the sound effects were not necessary and didn't really add anything to the whole experience.
