Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

The thirty-first instalment in James Patterson's globally bestselling series.

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.

The weapon that took down the plane is a remote-controlled Vietnam-War-era machine gun. The list of those who possess the training and expertise to operate the stolen .50-caliber 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...

Mystery story

The change of narrator made it difficult to a just the volume as I am hard of hearing. Good combination of two stories that interact with each other.

Great story but misleading title

An excellent Cross novel, reminiscent of the earlier stuff. Lot’s of characters so you need to concentrate. Don’t get the title though.

MEH, It was ok

I hate to say this as I look forward to it each year but I wasn’t dying to get back to it each time. Few bits seemed a bit like padding. Narration was great. No idea where the title came from, nobody had wanted to kill Alex specifically and only tried towards the end. The book felt short and forgettable sadly

Pacy & interesting adventure ride

Enjoyed the tight well written story. Having 7 different people read different perspectives kept things clear. The switching of scenes was well timed. Love being able to listen without eye strain.

Alex Cross

The title of this book I find to be misleading. It's an excellent story with fantastic narrators, but this "must die", I don't understand.

Great story

Robert Glenister is the best reader ever, he just is…. Hands down. Very much enjoyed this though… but if you want someone to engage you. RG is it. Listen to two minutes of any book in the Strike series… you’re welcome xxxx

Odd title

Great story, but no idea what the title has to do with the story. Good mix of voices and usual good mix of dramatic moments and family life.
