Review # 1 was written on 2017-03-17 00:00:00 Melanie Davies I may have made a mistake with these books. Usually I am quite anal about series and I start at number one and move through in order. For some reason I did not do this with Alex Cross and I am now starting to regret it! Sure, each story works on its own but, read at random, sometimes Alex is married, sometimes he is not, then he has two children, then he has three, then he has two again. People get recalled from previous books and I don't know who they are! This problem seriously affected this particular book for me and I think I enjoyed it a little less for that. Nevertheless it was typical Patterson, lots of action, lots of death, short chapters that keep the action rolling and make you stay up late to finish the book. I enjoyed it but think I may have enjoyed it more with better background knowledge. My blame, not the author's!

Review # 2 was written on 2018-04-30 00:00:00 Jerome Kocik This is the Alex Cross book I have been waiting to read; where he finds out who killed his wife years ago. It did not disappoint! Alex is now working as a full-time psychologist in private practice but is right back into the investigation world when things warm up his wife's cold case. This one was very fast-paced and as a reader that is now a dozen books in on the series, I felt invested into Alex finding out who killed his wife. I think that is the best part of series: you get addicted and invested into the characters and their lives. My quick and simple overall: fast-paced and more personal for the reader then some of the other books in the series.
