Editorial Reviews

A cast of talented narrators lend their voices to the 30th installment of the Alex Cross series. Supreme Court candidates are being murdered as the president-elect plans her inauguration. Cross and his colleagues must figure out who is behind the killings and why. As he draws closer to the answer, his wife and best friend disappear, leaving him with two major cases to solve. Narrators take parts as if they are in a well-rehearsed play, complete with wheezing evil masterminds and their minions. Listeners will hear the desperation of people who are struggling to survive. Tension mounts as the clock ticks and new dangers emerge around every corner. L.M.G. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine
