Deadly Cross

Alex Cross, Book 28

By: James Patterson

Narrated by: Brad Sanders

Cross. Now streaming on Prime Video.

The murder of a glamorous DC socialite becomes Alex Cross’s deadliest case since Along Came a Spider.
Kay Willingham led a life as glamorous as it was public—she was a gorgeous Georgetown socialite, philanthropist, and the ex-wife of the vice president. So why was she parked in a Bentley convertible idling behind a DC private school, in the middle of the night, with the man who was the head of that school? Who shot them both, point blank, and why? The shocking double homicide is blazed across the internet, TV, newspapers—and across Alex Cross's mind. Kay had been his patient once. And maybe more.

While John Sampson of DC Metro Police investigates the last movements of Christopher Randall, the educator killed along with Kay Willingham, detective Alex Cross and FBI special agent Ned Mahoney find unanswered questions from Willingham's past, before she arrived in DC and became known in DC society as someone who could make things happen. They travel to Alabama to investigate Kay's early years. There they find a world of trouble, corruption, and secrets, all of them closed to outsiders like Cross and Mahoney.

Kay had many enemies, but all of them seemed to need her alive. The harder the investigators push, the more resistance they find when they leave behind the polite law offices and doctors' quarters of the state capital. Alex Cross will need to use all his skills as a doctor, a detective, and a family man to prevent that resistance from turning lethal . . . again.

Not my favorite.

I love all the Alex Cross books. I didn't care for this one as much as the others. It was a little slow and I had a difficult time keeping up with who was who. I didn't care much for the narrator. This is an Alex Cross book so you love it anyway.

6 stars better than just 5

story of the missing girls, double homicide and family tension grips the reader in every page. a can't miss book that touches your senses in many ways.

The Narrator was a miss

I love all things Alex Cross, but the narrator created a choppy, boring, flat experience for this book. I would have given up if it weren't Alex Cross. I should have bought the book and read it instead.

great story

this one is true James patterson. he keeps the characters real and true to the whole Alex cross story line. this narrator is good, as always. love this series. keep them coming!

Cross Again

This Alex Cross was highly personal combined with the solving of the murders with the interaction between Alex's family and friends. My most memorable part was Alex's eulogy of Billy. Alex spoke from thep heart. You could feel how much he loved Billy and wanted to comfort his friend Sampson. Alex and Brie's relationship was also heightened with them working together to find the killer. An overall excellent Cross performance with exceptional character
portrayal and superb narration.
The plot was great and kept me listening throughout the night. Alex Cross is still the man. Thank you James Patterson.
