RETURN OF THE SPIDER Alex Cross, Book 33

Narrators Dion Graham and Fred Berman once again demonstrate their mastery of their craft in this James Patterson thriller. Graham returns as Alex Cross, fully embodying his multiple facets: loving family man, psychology scholar, and determined detective. Berman portrays serial murderer Gary Soneji to scarily calm perfection. Berman's performance allows listeners to inhabit this horrific man's mind as he delights in planning and committing his murders. Graham's and Berman's voices complement each other wonderfully. Graham's deliberate pacing makes every investigative turn seem heavy and consequential, while Berman injects a sharp intensity that is guaranteed to keep listeners unsettled. These stellar narrators elevate Patterson's thriller to new heights. P.P.C. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2025]
