"Triple Cross is a heart-pounding thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat (maybe don't listen while driving ;). It's jam packed with suspense, intense action, and unexpected twists that make for a really fun listening experience. The plot follows Detective Alex Cross as he goes on the hunt for a serial killer who is leaving a trail of destruction in his wake. From the beginning, there is an undeniable intensity and tension that makes this story truly engaging. The characters are well developed and believable, which helps to create even more suspense as Alex gets closer and closer to the killer. The dialogue in Triple Cross is believable and often humorous, helping to further paint a vivid picture for listeners. Patterson does an excellent job at weaving together different threads of the story as it progresses making sure all elements stay consistent throughout. And the book is narrated by 4 different readers that do a fantastic job voicing all of the characters uniquely. I give this audiobook five stars!"

Quotes

  • “Dr. Alex Cross and his wife each pursue an equally monstrous serial predator…As Bree worms her way into ever darker allegations about Duchaine, the Family Man continues his open season on picture-perfect households…Just the thing for readers who think their own work lives are high-stress drudgery.”

    " I've finished Triple Cross, James Patterson's latest Alex Cross novel, and I'm pleased to report that it's even better than I expected. The story follows our favorite detective, Alex Cross, as he hunts down an especially psychotic serial killer. Despite the dark nature of this book, Patterson imbues it with moments of hope and humanity, making the narrative compelling and powerful. The production of the audio version is first rate; the voice talent team brings the characters and their adventures to life in such a vivid manner – quite impressive really. I'd highly recommend this audiobook for any fan of crime thrillers or anyone looking for an exciting story that will keep them engaged for 9 hours! "

    " I'm a big fan of Patterson and this book clearly demonstrates why he's such an acclaimed author. The intensity never lets up throughout "Triple Cross". I highly recommend it for anybody looking for a nail-bitingly intense thriller with plenty of twists and turns! "

    " Boy oh boy Triple Cross is a thrilling audio experience – awesome roadtrip material for fans of James Patterson's Alex Cross series. This time he's on the hunt for a serial killer. It's not the deepest story by far but it's great fun and the suspense builds up quickly with lots of unexpected twists and turns. The voice acting from the team of 4 narrators is top notch and makes you feel as if you are too involved in the chaos that ensues. I love how Patterson weaves his stories together in a way that keeps you hooked throughout! "

    " I recently listened to this and I found the story a bit underwhelming, as it didn't add up to the standards of Patterson's previous work. The plot revolves around Alex Cross, an FBI agent who is trying to solve a tricky serial murder case. Unfortunately the plot structure is quite formulaic and doesn't offer any surprises; Alex Cross follows the typical procedure of interviewing suspects, piecing together clues, etc. Overall, I have to admit that this was not a bad audiobook by any means, but it certainly falls short when compared to other books by Patterson that I've greatly enjoyed.

    " I'm sorry to say that Triple Cross was a big letdown for me. Patterson's writing style seemed rushed and disjointed, as if he was trying to cram too many words and details into each page. The range of characters and storylines felt limited, with only minor variations on a similar theme throughout the book. There were some interesting plot points, but they ultimately failed to engage me due to the lack of depth in the character development and dialogue. Overall, this audiobook didn't live up to my expectations, and left me feeling disappointed and underwhelmed. "

    " The fast-paced action, gripping plot, and dynamic characters in James Patterson's "Triple Cross" all contribute to an overall thrilling experience. Detective Alex Cross is back and on the trail of a serial killer targeting entire families. From the moment he begins his pursuit, the suspense ramps up until it reaches its fever pitch climax. James brought on a whole team of narrators to tackle this one and the effort shows. The narration by the 4 readers is excellent and they do an amazing job of conveying the tension and excitement as the story progresses. I don't think I've ever been so drawn into an audiobook before!

    " Triple Cross is a really fun listen. Patterson brings his renowned talent for crafting engaging stories to this audiobook. He expertly weaves together intriguing elements to create a gripping narrative and his use of suspense and unexpected plot developments keeps things exciting and moving along briskly. I was also impressed with how well the team of narrators portrayed the characters, making each one distinct and believable. The production values are top notch, adding to the atmosphere created by Patterson's writing. It's a fast-paced thriller that will keep you hooked until the conclusion! "
