Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

Enjoyed most of this one...but the extended "love scenes" and some of the storyline would have been much more enjoyable - without.

Next Patterson novel with be abridged for me.

I thought I had read all of the Alex Cross series but guess I skipped this one. They never disappoint.

Love this book

I like Alex Cross. I loved the earlier stories, but after Roses are Red, I swore I would never, ever read another James Patterson book. It's an addiction. I read Violets are Blue, a slight redemption, but I was still borderline. Beach House was adequate, and the new series, 1st to Die and 2nd Chance were an interesting change. Four Blind Mice is a good book, ill-timed storyline, but such is life. I find myself looking forward to some more enjoyable quick reads/listens from Patterson (what is it, every six months?)....

Infinitely better than recent Alex Cross stories

The music during some of the scenes completely ruined it. It was too loud and very distracting. We don't need a sexy saxophone playing during love scenes to get the picture, or creepy midnight crickets and woodland noise to know we're in the woods.

I listened to the book over a period of a couple of weeks while flying between BWI and Florida. First time in my life that I was fervently hoping for a delay to the flight so that I could listen some more. The suspense is outstanding. The love scenes are OK, but about as good as Tom Clancy (if you know what I mean).

The plot develops nicely and has quite a few twists and turns. I could not predict what the ending would be, although I was teased by the foreshadowing.

Great for Flying
