Alex Cross book #22
I love James Patterson’s books even after numerous outings he still has a knack for giving us a fast-paced, engaging stories that has us gripped from the first page. Even after reading 22 books in this series he manages to stay focussed on giving us an exciting read. This one is closely linked to “Cross My Heart” which ended in a cliff-hanger with our protagonist distraught and lost. Alex Cross series is definitely one of my favourite, no one does it better than James Patterson.
Summary in a few words:
“Detective Alex Cross is being stalked by a psychotic genius, forced to play the deadliest game of his career.
Cross’s family: his loving wife Bree, the wise and lively Nana Mama, and his precious children-have been ripped away. Terrified and desperate, Cross must give this mad man what he wants if he has any chance of saving them most important people in his life. The stakes have never been higher. What will Cross sacrifice to save the ones he loves?”
More thoughts:
This is an easy read with short chapters that propels you to read just one more chapter. Alex is such a great character you definitely want him to succeed in finding and saving his love ones. We are teased from page one with the discovery of bodies leaving us wondering could they be Alex’s family....bit by bit we are plunged into the drama along with Alex and we feel his anxiety in finding his family mutilated by an insane individual or even worst never finding them. The tension is palpable....Never a dull moment spending time with Alex....
Although I love this series I take my time between books in order to enjoy them at the maximum otherwise I may say as some do that the action is the same same old thing....
I enjoyed passing time with Alex and I will again after all.... as of today there are 33 books in this series...wow I have a lot a catching up to do. I am looking forward in doing so.
