Quite an interesting read. Many stories intertwined and of course at the end, Alex Cross figures out who M is. It'll be interesting to see what's next.

The main storyline of this is seriously chilling. A serial killer is targeting whole families at once in a stealthy and calculated way. Nobody is safe within the household including elderly grandparents and young children which leads to a very atmospheric and dark read and definitely played on my worst fears to give a terrifying edge.
The lead detectives of the case are enigmatic and I was invested in them and learning about their personal lives and believed in them as characters so this was definitely a bonus. I was slightly distracted when the action was away from the main part of the story, however, so did not find it completely compelling as a whole.
Overall the premise and effect was good and I would recommend it as a read.
I was lucky enough to receive this as an ARC and there were some slight problems with the proof copy insofar as every time a word contained ‘ff’ those characters were missing. This led to some amusement (I especially liked coee for coffee, I might start calling it that) and wasn’t too troublesome.

A true adrenaline surge with James Patterson's newest Alex Cross book.
Two cases are being investigated separately by detective Alex Cross and his chief of detectives wife, Bree Stone. As the story progresses, the reader is pulled into Bree's story as she follows the fashion industry case while her husband Alex is off chasing a few steps behind the killer in the Family Man murders.
Patterson weaves his magic and brings both stories together to end in a complete surprise. Meanwhile, we finally get a glimpse of who the mysterious M is from previous books in the series.
As an avid Patterson reader, I was starting to feel a bit lackluster with this series. However, Triple Cross has the same exhilarating pull I recall having when I read Along Came a Spider or Kiss the Girls. I'm anxiously looking forward to the next book, Cross Down, target release in June 2023.

Alex Cross is back! This book is making me excited for the future of this series.
