Deadly Cross

James Patterson

3.93 AVERAGE


Another great Cross mystery. This one had my until the end. Patterson wove the cases into a very solid whole to give us one of the better Cross books in recent memory.

If there was ever a Cross novel that was by the numbers this one was it.
Patterson seemed like he phoned this one in, maybe he needs a cup of cocoa and a lie down.
Uninspiring and dull are two words that would describe the book.

Excellent as usual. James Patterson never fails to deliver. Always a lively well thought out story with relatable characters

I love the Cross books, they are always so engaging and fast paced. This is another entry which just keeps delivering, only this time, I didn't see the twist coming at all, like not even a bit. There is a heartbreak in this novel, it's understandable why it was done but I wish it hadn't. That said, the plot is great and I really enjoyed this entry.

ndschmidt's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH: 6%

Did not capture my interest the night I attempted to read it. 

I love Alex Cross and this one was such a great story, although it did make me cry-didn’t expect that part of the story
