Return of the Spider

An Alex Cross Thriller

De: James Patterson

Narrado por: Dion Graham, Fred Berman

Instant New York Times Bestseller!

Return of the Spider is the stunning companion novel to Along Came a Spider, the New York Times bestselling classic thriller from the world’s most popular storyteller.

Enter the thrilling world of the #1 bestselling detective series that inspired the Prime Video show, Cross.

Along Came a Spider introduced Detective Alex Cross to readers around the globe and delivered an unsurpassed rivalry: Cross—named the “human superhero” by The New York Times—versus Gary Soneji, who the Lexington-Herald Leader called the “most deliciously wicked character since Hannibal Lecter”. But that wasn’t their first meeting ...

Police discover that Soneji kept a murder book, Profiles in Homicidal Genius, detailing his transformation from substitute teacher to hardened serial killer—including clues that imply missteps that Alex Cross may have made a rookie homicide detective.

Now, Alex must retrace the steps of that long-ago investigation and face ... the Return of the Spider.

“Patterson knows how to sell thrills and suspense.” —People, on Along Came a Spider

It’s the prequel no one needed

I absolutely love James Patterson and the Alex Cross series, however, I had no vested interest in the story. I don’t know why anyone needed the few minutes of new information.
As always, great writing and characters I know and love, but just a little lackluster for me.

Interesting prequel

This gives insight into the things that happened in Along Came a Spider. The happiness that Alex and Maria had before her death is heartbreaking knowing what was going to happen. But for Alex and Sampson to be able to make things better after what they found out was encouraging. I liked the two narrators.

Great Cross story

It was great to get more of the Spider story. It was a good and intense story. Narration was good. If you love the Cross series you will love this.

Left me wanting more

Loved Along Came A Spider. Enjoyed the backstory. Now I want more Alex Cross. Same narrator please :)

Just WOW!

I always enjoy Mr Patterson's writing and this one blew my mind! Seriously, I had to stop the performance at one point and collect myself. Thank you sir!
