Description

An instant New York Times bestseller!

Return of the Spider is the stunning companion novel to Along Came a Spider, the New York Times bestselling classic thriller from the world’s most popular storyteller.

Enter the thrilling world of the #1 bestselling detective series that inspired the Prime Video show, Cross.

Along Came a Spider introduced Detective Alex Cross to readers around the globe and delivered an unsurpassed rivalry: Cross—named the “human superhero” by The New York Times—versus Gary Soneji, who the Lexington-Herald Leader called the “most deliciously wicked character since Hannibal Lecter”. But that wasn’t their first meeting ...

Police discover that Soneji kept a murder book, Profiles in Homicidal Genius, detailing his transformation from substitute teacher to hardened serial killer—including clues that imply missteps that Alex Cross may have made a rookie homicide detective.

Now, Alex must retrace the steps of that long-ago investigation and face ... the Return of the Spider.

“Patterson knows how to sell thrills and suspense.” —People, on Along Came a Spider

    Disappointing is the best word to describe this rehash of the original story.

  • Waste of time

    Sad to see one of my favorite authors sink to such a level. Shallow and uninspired. Should be sold on a roll so you can get some use out of it.

  • This spider got caught in its own web

    By far worst book series he has written. Tried to make 2 stories into one and it lost identity. I don’t read books for history lessons the writer want to only fill pages.

    Six chapters in and I am already tired of being lectured. Find something else to talk down to me about.

    Just like all of his books. This was great.

  • Not the best

    As always, an interesting tale well told. Yet overall, quite confusing.

  • Don’t waste you time

    This was a total fraud, attempting to draw prior readers who enjoyed prior Spider books to a poorly thought out and copycat book that focused on prior subjects. Don’t waste your time and money!

  • Boring

    By MarkWhiteLotus
    Another back to the future story, squeezing more $ out of past story lines instead of making up new stories.
