Description

SOON TO BE AN ORIGINAL AMAZON PRIME SERIES


TWO KILLERS. TWO MOTIVES. A DEADLY RACE AGAINST TIME.


When an American Airlines plane explodes in the sky, detectives Alex Cross and John Sampson are first on the scene. They don't hear the gunfire. At first.

It soon becomes clear that the plane was taken down by a rare, stolen machine gun. The list of people who could operate the weapon is short. And time runs even shorter.

But this isn't the only case the pair must solve. They're also tracking a serial killer who's ambushing young men in what the media are calling the 'Dead Hours' murders.

With two killers and two different motives, Cross and Sampson are in a deadly race against time . . .

The latest thriller in the globally bestselling series has arrived.

Well what can I say, James Patterson does it again and gives us an unputdownable book in the Alex Cross series. Alex is working with John trying to solve one case when Ned pulls them both into another case. Bree is working a missing person case and pulled into another one. Plenty going off in this book with twists and turns all the way. As someone who has read EVERY Alex Cross book I can not fault them and recommend them as you can read them in order for the full background of the characters or any one of them as a stand-alone to get you started with the series. For someone like me, one tiny nugget of information such as “M” being mentioned is enough to get me pre ordering the next book without even reading a preview! Absolute page turner, l LOVE Alex Cross, roll on the next book!

Another action packed thrilling read, a series i've finally caught up with and loved each and every book that I have read. I like the characters, having grown with them over a number of years I can't wait to find out about them with each new book.
I look forward to being reunited with the characters as much as i look forward to seeing what new story line we have. Never disappointed when reading this series.

The author has delivered time and time again with this series, it really does not get boring as a long running series sometimes can. The author manages to keep the action and the tension throughout each and every story. Another first class read and a great addition to the series.

Alex Cross #32


The advantage of being behind in the series was I got to read quite a few of the books back to back. The disadvantage is as I feel I've recently spent so much time with these characters I can't wait for the next one.

"Alex Cross Must Die" by James Patterson is a gripping thriller that keeps readers on the edge of their seats from the very beginning. The novel starts with a bang, as an American Airlines plane explodes in mid-air, setting the stage for a high-stakes investigation. Detectives Alex Cross and John Sampson are thrust into a complex and fast-paced narrative as they scramble to uncover the truth behind the plane's destruction.

Patterson weaves a multi-layered plot, with two concurrent cases that demand the full attention of Cross and Sampson. The stolen machine gun and the 'Dead Hours' murders provide a tantalizing blend of mystery, action, and suspense. The author's writing style is crisp and efficient, ensuring that the story maintains a breakneck pace throughout.

The character of Alex Cross shines in this novel, as he confronts not only external threats but also internal conflicts, making him a relatable and dynamic protagonist. The race against time adds a thrilling urgency to the story, making it difficult to put the book down.

In "Alex Cross Must Die," James Patterson delivers another page-turner in the long-running series, demonstrating his mastery of suspenseful storytelling. This novel is a must-read for fans of thrillers and crime fiction.

Alex. Cross is back in book 32 with no signs of letting up. I just cannot get enough of these face paced, page turning crime thrillers from one of my favourite authors of all time. You always know when you pick up an Alex Cross book that it will be non stop action and you will be reading until you finish. His punchy, short chapters make for a fabulous reading experience every single time.

This time we have quite a it going on… a commercial plane full of passengers is shot down killing all on board, there is a serial killer out there, nicknamed the Dead Hours Killer and Bree is looking for a missing Company CEO. On top of all this, Ali is getting himself into trouble again, Nanna Mama is going back to work and so much more. How could you not want to read this. And the ending..,another to be continued… ahhh!!!

Thanks so much to Random House UK for allowing me to read such an earl copy of this book. Always a pleasure and an honour to read a Patterson novel. Published on Pctober 26th.
