About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
The 21st novel in the best-selling Alex Cross series.
Detective Alex Cross is being hunted down and his world is crashing around him.
Alex Cross has devoted his life to protecting others, his only refuge from the horrors of his job is his family - and his enemies know it.
He's never faced a foe like this before. One by one, everyone he loves is being taken from him.
If Alex doesn't act fast, he'll have no one left....
The first part of a thrilling duology by best-selling author James Patterson, followed by Hope to Die.

Critic reviews
"No one gets this big without amazing natural storytelling talent - which is what Jim has, in spades. The Alex Cross series proves it." (Lee Child, international best-selling author of the Jack Reacher series)
If you could sum up Cross My Heart in three words, what would they be?
One of the very best Cross books since Kiss the Girls-a riveting, excellent readWhat did you like best about this story?
The unbelievable and shocking events at the end! Just glad I read it now and only have to wait a few months for the next book!!Which scene did you most enjoy?
The end shocker.......also the part when Sampson pretended he didn't know anything was up-despite the fact Alex was secretly handing him evidence! BrilliantWas there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
See aboveAny additional comments?
Such a clever storyline......I suspect the next book will reveal that all is ok-how good would it be if the events turned out to be true-as Alex first thought.....and as a consequence he turned against the law and became a vigil anti that was being chased by the police?!Amazing!!

What disappointed you about Cross My Heart?
Absurd plot contrivances, unbelievable characters, clumsy spoon-feeding of references and lack of literary technique like metaphor and simile.Would you ever listen to anything by James Patterson again?
Only as part some kind of academic study.What didn’t you like about Michael Boatman and Tom Wopat ’s performance?
Maudlin, indulgent and melodramatic.Also the mis-pronunciation of espresso (eXpresso) unforgivable.
What character would you cut from Cross My Heart?
The 'nemesis' Thierry Mulch. The least believable character I've ever come across, Mulch is supposed to be the disguise of the criminal mastermind Marcus Sunday. This criminal mastermind sends notes to Alex Cross for no apparent reason other than to give him a gigantic clue and help James Patterson move the story forward. He then comes to give a talk at Cross' sons' school, again for no plausible reason at all. On top of this he appears to dress as some kind of Colonel Sanders-esque clown, again for no reason whatsoever.Any additional comments?
Random inconsistent sound effects and 'dramatic' music have been added to the audiobook, like a radio play for children.Die hard Airport Fiction fans only
