With a supercharged blend of suspense, action, and deception, CROSS FIREis James Patterson's most exciting Alex Cross novel ever.

Let down

The story is a bit dry. Not the level of suspense we've had with Cross novels of the past. We've also had enough Kyle Craig. Hopefully this is his true demise. Too much Alex and Bree action. This is a suspense novel, not soft porn. The narrator doesn't compare to Cross narrator's of the past.

On Fire

This book was truly on fire from the beginning to end. Once again with James Pattersons books I was literally pulled in to the book. It was an excellent read

WOW!

A great story. Seems to expose dark side of persons working in law enforcement and government. Alex Cross modern day Super Man. We need more of him. Samson too!

okay

I enjoy listening to the Alex Cross books. Have heard them all. I was also disappointed with the new narrator. It felt like he was rushing it. And the book wasn't that long I couldn't figure out why.

By the very end I was used to him but the narration was definitely worse than in previous books. The book was ok. I don't expect too much from Patterson books anymore as he churns them out so quickly. But quick entertainment is what I expected and what I got.

Great Read. Fast paced. Lots of action.

This was another great installment in the series on Alex Cross. The villains were wicked and callous. Alex and his team worked together superbly. Good ending.
