Now an Amazon Prime series starring Aldis Hodge as Alex Cross. This is the very first thriller in James Patterson's international bestselling series featuring forensic psychologist Alex Cross.

Two children have been kidnapped from an elite private school in Washington DC, and Detective Alex Cross is charged with finding them.

The kidnapper's identity is quickly determined as one of the children's teachers. But capturing him is the true challenge.

As Cross gets pulled deeper into the strange world of the kidnapper, it becomes clear he is far more dangerous than anyone could have anticipated.

Although it's not really my genre, enjoyed it!

Understand why people like this book / James Patterson's style. Fast paced, lots of surprises and events. Likeable characters. Jokes.

briljant and captivating

Great caracters, well reseached story with a gripping plot and great ending. Well read

This one didn’t really work for me

While I liked the characters and I didn’t mind the plot, this novel left me feeling a bit disappointed. It’s not even that the writing was particularly terrible, but the story was so all over the place that it became a bit exhausting. I felt that the author kept trying to tell me how to feel about the plot, rather than make the plot credible. They kept talking about the ‘perfect crime’ which felt weird and chaotic and anything but perfect and how smart the bad guy was (who felt like an idiot to me) None of it came together well and I was constantly aware I was reading a story rather than being sucked into the plot. Will try the next novel in hopes that it gets better (but only because I had already bought it)

good read

gripping storyline with Twista and turns. narration was really good. it's a keeper. could easily happen!

Great Listen but very long

I found the book very entertaining it was a very well written story with loads of drama. It was just to long it felt like it will never end even
though you are entertained all the way it was to long.

Weak story with unbelievable characters

Painful parade of stereotype characters whom undergo no personal change whatsoever. After reading M Connelly books for years this is a hard landing out looking for other crime authors.

Awful

save yourself stay away from this audiobook. it is an insult to ones intelligence. I actually suffered listening. there are mistakes in the English language, and a completely immature understanding of human nature. don't touch it!
