Reseñas de la Crítica

“John Sampson is a standout character, and his taking the lead here is a thing of beauty. Cross Down is non-stop action.”

Two stories for one

Alex and Sampson usually work together but Sampson is called away for another case. Alex's son, Damon is missing and no one seems to be looking for him. Each chapter goes between the two men and their cases. This was a very interesting book. The narrators were great and were perfect for Alex and Sampson.

You can't miss with Cross and Sampson!

I love following the family story. I hope it continues and the adventures stay as lively and over the top.

EXCITING BOOK.

loved this book titled Cross and Sampson! I wished it would never end! can't wait for the next Alex Cross book.

Alex and John separated

It was a different way of listening to a James Patterson story. I liked the story but I am not sure l like way book had a narrative reader. overall even with Alex and John seperated and working on separate cases, Patterson has manage to write another great "Alex Cross" book.

Exciting stories

I always enjoy Alex and Sampson. This book was no exception. Thrilling and it kept me up reading later than I wanted to some nights.
