This was honestly my most favorite book in the Alex Cross Series. I was fascinated by the idea of banks and bank robberies and the fact that Patterson had incorporated that into his book is truly amazing. Great book. I would recommend this book (or the whole series for that matter) to anybody who loves a good mystery novel.

The Alex Cross series has been one of my favorites so far, but this one was more predictable than the rest, and I didn’t feel myself getting as lost in the story.

Round 1 review:
Short chapters; part of a series but can be read as a stand-alone; a very gripping and captivating plot with multiple components; it totally sucked me in; I was itching for more shock value with both twists though- I wonder if it would have been better if I had read the previous books in the series; ends on a cliffhanger.

Made me want to read the whole series.

6th book in the Alex Cross series but could be read as a stand alone.
- Tropes/themes:
- Multiple POV
- Police procedural
- Short chapters
- Cat and mouse
- Serial killer
- Evil genius
- Hidden in plain sight
- Trust and betrayal
- Gripping and action-packed
- Captivating and intriguing plot
- Dark, disturbing, and very vulgar at times
- As usual, I hate the romance side of the plot because of the approach (insert eye roll; totally coded for the male gaze)
- Tons of twists, with an intense one right at the end as a cliffhanger for the next book
- This is my fav of the series so far and I loved it just as much the second time around
