The House of Cross

An Alex Cross Thriller

De: James Patterson

Narrado por: Wayne Carr, Inger Tudor, William Christopher Stephens, Peter Giles, Zeno Robinson, Christine Lakin, Andrew Kishino

Supreme Court candidates are being murdered—and only Alex Cross and John Sampson can take the case in The House of Cross.

“[Alex Cross’s] innate nature is to protect people…If he has a weakness, it’s his family, especially his children. They’re the chink in his armor. But aside from that, it’s tough to get at him.”
–Aldis Hodge, star of Cross on Prime Video

In Washington, DC, the president-elect is planning her inauguration.

The list of Supreme Court candidates is highly confidential—until it becomes evidence in Detective Alex Cross’s toughest investigation.

One candidate is gunned down. A second is stabbed. A third is murdered near midnight on a city street.

Cross is the FBI’s top expert in criminal behavior. For the sake of his family, his city, and his country, he must put himself in the most dangerous place there is: inside the mind of a diabolical killer.

A little unbelievable

I enjoy the Cross series, but this one seemed a little out there in the reality of this happening. It’s a great story but definitely fiction.

Storyline

The storyline is what always get me. Patterson is an amazing writer. The artists did a fantastic job reading. It kept me pulled in. Next book please lol

Timely, compelling, and engrossing.

Terrific book. This feels incredibly current and timely… Twists and turns, creativity… Looking forward to more well written, and well crafted novels from James Patterson.

Action Pack & Enjoyable

The entire storyline, I’m an Alex Cross & Sampson fan. Couldn’t stop listening until I fell asleep & finished it during my workout & pedicure. This kept me going & didn’t disappoint. Keep them coming Mr Patterson.

Everything

Love Alex Cross , I can read and or listen every day, this story was wild and cold. Is this the end of M? Can’t wait for the next Cross case

Great story!

Dear Mr. Patterson,
Please don’t kill any other main characters because you feel the story is going stale.
This story was a excellent update to the Alex Cross series but some will say it’s not a major development in the series. That’s false! It’s a awesome story with a lot action and investigation. Alex, John, bri or Ned are great and don’t require more character development for at least 3 more books. Them as a squad is what your team have dreamed about and you have a opportunity to tell a story of a Super Sleuth team with very little red tape. Please lean into that angle you hinted at. Thank you in advance and awesome work in general.

The tension of the action

Good from the start. Interesting plot. Good ending. The characters are well established from previous episodes

Seemed repetitive to me.

Although I loved the book, but it was similar to a previous book by this suthor.

It’s a fun ride, but a little predictable.

These latest books have been all about the crime to solve. Patterson has forgotten about the soul of these characters. I loved when Alex would play the piano and nana would experiment in the kitchen, when Ali and Janny had stories within the story. Bring back the soul of these characters James!!!

All that to say, the story is fun, but convenient.

Intricate plot

I couldn't stop listening. So we'll done and what a great plot. Truly scary villains and Cross, the risk taker as always. Just a great addition to the Cross library.
