What can one say, this is Alex Cross, no one better at solving puzzles and catching bad guys and women. In his classic style, the writer has two stories going on at once, and they both keep you guessing on next steps, who, what, when, and where the next piece of the puzzle will drop. Hang on, this is a wild ride.
Love Alex Cross books. They never disappoint.
slow start page turning later
As artful as Patterson is, there’s something unconvincing about the family life of Alex Cross: not that an action-hero should not have ordinary connections, but this all-too-inclusive family seems contrived to uplift Cross’s character. I’ll admit that this is my first Patterson novel, but it does not inspire me to read more.
All of James Patterson’s Alex Cross books are fantastic. Alex is the man!!! If I start them I can’t put them down until I am done.
James Patterson’s Alex Cross books never disappoint. They hold my interest because I can’t wait to see what will happen next.
Excellent read. Love Alex Cross books. James Patterson knows how to keep the action going. Had to sneak and read it at work and past my bedtime at home at night. Highly recommend this book.
This is one of the best Alex Cross books.Enjoyable & exciting.
there were a lot of characters and it was difficult to keep track of them all.
I enjoy this character. It kept my attention. Is a good read
I love all of the Alex Cross books.
It was good as most of James Patterson books are.
Not up to other James Patterson books I have read. Too many characters. Hard to follow the different storylines. Some characters were never developed. Ending was abrupt and left me confused.
It’s always so much fun to escape into Alex Cross’ world for a little bit-get wrapped up with his family and feel the love. The long-continuing series is like coming home to an old friend. Just reading to relax and be removed from the world for a bit.
Very good read. Patterson does not disappoint.
The Cross series is always good
Patterson did it again.
Alex Cross novels are always interesting and exciting.
Classic James Patterson
Good solid Alex Cross with lots of unexpected twists and turns
