Cross. Now streaming on Prime Video.

James Patterson raises the stakes to their highest level, ever-when Alex Cross becomes the obsession of a genius of menace set on proving that he is the greatest mind in the history of crime.

Detective Alex Cross is a family man at heart--nothing matters more to him than his children, his grandmother, and his wife Bree. His love of his family is his anchor, and gives him the strength to confront evil in his work. One man knows this deeply, and uses Alex's strength as a weapon against him in the most unsettling and unexpected novel of James Patterson's career.

When the ones Cross loves are in danger, he will do anything to protect them. If he does anything to protect them, they will die.

CROSS MY HEART is the most powerful Alex Cross novel ever, propelled by the ever-ingenious mind of James Patterson, the world's #1 bestselling writer.

Is there anything you would change about this book?

YES!! I'd finish it!!!

Would you ever listen to anything by James Patterson again?

When I am ready to forgive him for doing this, maybe.

What about Michael Boatman and Tom Wopat ’s performance did you like?

Nothing wrong with the narration, they are not the problem.

Could you see Cross My Heart being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Never. Sorry James, but you really ticked many of your fans off.

Any additional comments?

I admit, it was becoming predictable that all is so good at the end, but killing off his family, knowing that they are most likely alive, and you know who did it... still predictable. You just need to wait a year to find out, was this really needed?

Narrator is engaging. James Patterson makes it so even though this is a series, the reader isn't lost with the background info or part events.

Enjoyed

I just spent almost 10 hours listening to a book with the MOST AWFUL ending. James Patterson does not need to leave you wanting more. Any of his faithful readers would read the next Alex Cross book even with the unresolved ending of this book. I felt robbed! So if you have a spare 10 hours to devote to this book, listen to it now. If your time is more valuable, wait till the next book comes out and listen to it them.
