Book 23 of 33: Alex Cross

See all formats and editions

For Alex Cross, the toughest cases hit close to home-and in this deadly thrill ride, he's trying to solve the most personal mystery of his life.
When his cousin is accused of a heinous crime, Alex Cross returns to his North Carolina hometown for the first time in over three decades. As he tries to prove his cousin's innocence in a town where everyone seems to be on the take, Cross unearths a family secret that forces him to question everything he's ever known.
Chasing a ghost he believed was long dead, Cross gets pulled into a case that has local cops scratching their heads and needing his help: a grisly string of socialite murders. Now he's hot on the trail of both a brutal killer, and the truth about his own past-and the answers he finds might be fatal.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Patterson's Alex Cross is back again in another crazy, suspenseful mystery that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. Patterson's writing style never disappoints, with his characters still seeming fresh even more than twenty novels in. No story is the same, and this book is as worthy a read as all the ones before it."

-- "RT Book Reviews (4 stars)"

"Narrator Ruben Santiago Hudson infuses Alex with his own blend of passion and vigor to make this presentation his own. As Alex's search for the real killer sends him deep into his own family's secrets, Hudson's voice peels back layers of raw and heartrending emotion. Jefferson Mays provides counterpoint to Hudson's performance with his skillful creation of the depraved killer. Together, the two narrators anchor the plot with enduring performances and bring Alex home at last."

I am a part of the Cross family! I lived in DC, I knew the streets, I knew somewhere he was there doing good since reading the first book. "Cross Justice" shows once again how gifted and real James Patterson is. The use of the "N" word was not appreciated from a writer as creative as Patterson, whose talent does not give him a license to "test the waters" on a sensitive matter in my community. It was an unnecessary distraction that is an ongoing conflict of being a fan of an African American character created and written by a non-African American and prayerfully will not be found on future pages. That said, the weaving of the two stories, Florida and North Carolina, connecting past to present parental impact, was masterful as was the unexpected, tear jerking final chapters. I believe I saw a hint in the next book of the new enemy of Cross. Cross carrying his "cross" is always satisfying.

Wow, now that's what I call quite a page turner!!!!!

James Patterson is incredible. I've been reading about Alex Cross and family since the beginning. I also have been keeping up with the rest of the Patterson books as well. Detective Mike Bennett, the Women's Murder Club.....etc. I have been let down maybe twice in all those years. But then the next Patterson title is released and I know why that was so. This guy can really come up with some wildly excellent plots. I know if he didn't have an outlet for his imagination, hmmm, let's just leave it at that. This book is one of great talent. Incredible tweaks and twisted ploys are Patterson specialty. When you start reading this book give yourself a whole weekend to enjoy it. As far as anything I didn't like about this I just can't recall what. Alex Cross gets the gold medal in this case. I'm sorry I read this so quickly. Now what am I going to do. Thank you James for finally giving Dr Cross his recognition he deserves. That's all I'm giving away. READ the rest in this book.

This was Alex Cross at its finest.
I love the family dynamics and Nana Mama needs to live forever because she is truly the glue that keeps the family together.
The ending was shocking and unexpected.

Full of twists & turns!! Especially close to the ending. I was very surprised at the ending. Putting two and two together was very shocking. Wish I had had time to read in one sitting because for me it was hard to remember who was who!! Guess I will have to reread this great book!!!

remarkable

This plot must have taken many months to conceive. The Alex Cross
novels are all remarkable. I hope this book won’t be the last of this series. How does Jannie do in
college, and in her time as a member of the American Olympic track team? How about the other Cross children? How about grandparents Alex, Brie, and all?
