Roses Are Red

By: James Patterson

Narrated by: Keith David, Jason Culp

In this #1 New York Times bestseller from the world’s most popular storyteller, Alex Cross is in a race against time as a series of crimes stuns Washington, DC—and he faces down his most brilliant enemy yet.

Inspiration for the heart-pounding Prime Video show, Cross.

Homicide detective and forensic psychologist Alex Cross turns his powers of observation on the criminal known as Mastermind, whose every act is marked by a pathological need for control and perfection. Even with Cross's home life in crises, it’s Mastermind who captivates the investigator’s attention by dropping a series of clues that he is plotting one huge, last, perfect crime.

"Clever and engrossing … Roses Are Red is definitely in the can’t-put-down-until-the-final-page category.” —Orlando Sentinel

“It starts out, bang! … Patterson has got the material dead-on … another winner.” —Baltimore Sun

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!
