Breathtakingly exciting

Just un-putdown-able! Shocking, thrilling, beautifully narrated. I finished this in record time and found it utterly compelling. Will need a break before the next one in the series to gather breath and get my blood pressure down again.

Great audio book

Great story and good voice actor. Story is maybe just a little bit to long. 👍

So disappointed

So I've watched the film and read the physical book (albeit around ten years ago) and I loved both but I really strongly disliked this audiobook and I can only assume it must be the narrator. To be fair to him though, I think it's also to do with the writing style, it felt so amateurish! "I said this, I thought that, I Did this" it was constant telling us and not showing anything. The narrator really didn't help though because he rarely showed any emotion even when he was saying he was angry. It was so mono. And don't get me started on the actual quality of the audiobook! It was truly awful. People have already said about how the volume goes up considerably when he says what chapter he's on and it does, but also randomly in the middle of talking a sentence or word comes along with a different pitch and volume. It's almost like there's been a mistake at that point and instead of reading the that bit again, they've just recorded that later and spliced it in. The whole thing was a hatchet job to be honest and I'm very disappointed.

Another great!

Having just started the Alex Cross series, I quickly bought this following the first story 'Along Came a Spider'. I wasn't disappointed. Very well written and very creepy.

brilliantly disturbing

4 stars for some misinformation but most likely the time it was written. I thought it was gripping and disturbing.

Wish the volume levels were higher.

Slowly getting through all of the James Patterson books. This is a long one and I felt got a little weaker towards the end. Overall a tense read with an unexpectedly weaker finale.

I listen to audible books when I go walking and despite having the volume up full, I often struggle to hear the narration, especially when he whispers for dramatic effect. My volume is up full and I have partially sound proof headphones, but I have to hear some outside sound to be aware of traffic. I miss a lot and often have to rewind which takes something away from the story. Why not increase volume levels and allow me to reduce them?

Top Story and great reader

Absolutely loved it. Another good story from James Patterson. I was gripped all the way through trying to guess the murder. Ako Mitchell has a great reading voice and I look forward to listening to him again.

Love Alex Cross

The narrator has brought the characters alive for me, I have the next book ready and waiting for my next good read or should I say listen to.

disappointed

narration and fact same girl caught twice ridiculous. Author should retire
whilst he is ahead

Frustrating volume levels.

The story is excellent. Unfortunately the volume on the narration goes from extremely loud, especially when announcing a new chapter to barely audible at times which spoils the experience.
