"Kiss the Girls" by James Patterson

Audible.com Summary:

In the most suspenseful thriller yet from the author of Along Came a Spider, Detective Alex Cross is on the trail of 2 murderers who may be working together. Casanova preys on talented college women from the Carolinas to Florida. The Gentleman Caller is terrorizing Los Angeles. The case takes Cross coast to coast and to the Deep South, where his niece, a law student, has been abducted. Will she be the next victim of one, or both, of the killers?

A good thriller. I really liked the Kate McTiernan character and hope to see her again in future Alex Cross novels.

"Along Came a Spider" by James Patterson

Audible.com Summary:

Along Came a Spider begins with the double kidnapping of the daughter of a famous Hollywood actress and the young son of the Secretary of the Treasury. And that's only the beginning! Gary Soneji is a murderous serial kidnapper who wants to commit the crime of the century. Alex Cross is the brilliant homicide detective pitted against him. Jezzie Flanagan is the female supervisor of the Secret Service who completes one of the most unusual suspense triangles in any thriller you have ever heard.

I started this book the day I finished "The 5th Horseman" from Patterson's "Women's Murder Club" Series. I had seen this movie years ago but didn't remember much of it. After watching the movie after finishing this book I can tell you without hesitation that the book is WAY better (and more twisted) than the movie.

Author: James Patterson
Narrator: Charles Turner
