Cross Country audiobook – Alex Cross, Book 14

As I embarked on a long cross-country road trip, I decided to keep myself entertained with the captivating Cross Country audiobook by James Patterson. The open road stretched out before me, and the sun was just beginning to set, casting a warm glow over the landscape. With Peter J. Fernandez and Dion Graham as my companions, I was ready for an exhilarating journey filled with mystery and suspense.

From the very first chapter, Fernandez and Graham showcased their remarkable talent for narration. Their voices seamlessly blended together, creating a harmonious balance that enhanced the intensity of each scene. Whether it was a chilling murder or a heart-pounding chase, their voices brought the story to life in a way that kept me on the edge of my seat.

In this installment of the series, Alex Cross finds himself facing one of his most twisted adversaries yet. A madman is on a killing spree, leaving behind gruesome murder scenes that shock even Cross himself. As he investigates further, he uncovers a dark underworld hidden within Nigeria’s criminal underbelly.

The killer, known as Tiger, is not only fearless but also cunning enough to run an entire gang single-handedly. Determined to bring him to justice before more lives are lost, Cross sets off on a dangerous journey to Tiger’s native state. Alongside him is Brianna Stone, whose safety has become Cross’s top priority.

What struck me most about this audiobook was the deepening connection between Cross and Stone. In previous installments like Roses Are Red and Violets Are Blue, their relationship was merely hinted at. But here, their love and concern for each other were palpable. They faced danger together and worried about each other’s fate as they delved deeper into Tiger’s world.

As I listened to Cross Country while driving through vast landscapes and picturesque towns, I couldn’t help but feel completely engrossed in the story. Patterson’s masterful storytelling, combined with Fernandez and Graham’s exceptional narration, made for an unforgettable audiobook experience.
