Publisher's summary

The president's son and daughter are abducted, and Detective Alex Cross is one of the first on the scene. But someone very high-up is using the FBI, Secret Service, and CIA to keep him off the case and in the dark.

A deadly contagion in the water supply cripples half of the capital, and Alex discovers that someone may be about to unleash the most devastating attack the United States has ever experienced.

As his window for solving both crimes narrows, Alex makes a desperate decision that goes against everything he believes - one that may alter the fate of the entire country.

Kill Alex Cross is faster, more exciting, and more tightly wound than any Alex Cross thriller James Patterson has ever written!

Solve another case with Alex Cross.

Like sitting in a theater blind

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

I would recommend this audiobook to all my friends because it was like sitting in a theater blind. The action and drama throughout the book were exceptional.

What other book might you compare Kill Alex Cross to and why?

This book does not lend itself to be compared with other books. It is in a category of its own. I have listened to other Patterson books, but this by far is one of his best books.

Which scene was your favorite?

The last part of the book was the best. The narrators were very talented and knocked it out of the park when they gave voices to each of the characters. It was distinct, viable and suspenseful. Bravo!

Can't wait to read

I am reading all alex cross In order. I am reading Merry Christmas Alex Cross, I always anticipate the next book after the book I am currently listing to. I have read current reviews but always love to listen and make my own decision. I have loved the whole Alex Cross adventures and I look forward to the next book after completing each one. At times I find myself binge listening and then feeling bad I have reached the end. I look forward to listening to Kill Alex Cross.

Not among the best Alex Cross novels

This was not among my favorite Alex Cross novels. I thought the narrators/performers did a good job. The story was not captivating until the last third of the story.
