This is #30 in James Patterson's Alex Cross series, and once again he provides the reader with non-stop, page-turning action. Let's suspend our disbelief as the primary case (the Family Man serial killer) intersects with Brie's investigation into the fashion industry in NYC. You know that with Alex Cross, John Sampson, and Brie Stone on the job, they will get the bad guys in the end. But of course it's a roller coaster ride until the last page. We also get updates on the Cross family - Nana Mama, Jannie and Ali. I have to admit that I have abandoned many of my favorite long-running mystery series because the writing and the characters just got stale, in my opinion. That is definitely not the case with the Alex Cross series, and I'll look forward to the next book under my Christmas tree in December!

There was definitely a lot going on in this book, but in the end it does manage to all come together and deliver an entertaining, fast paced read.

I had hope with the premise of this one. Again, I just found myself unable to connect to or care about the characters. Of course, I love Nana Mama and her wit and sly remarks, but everything else is just becoming too predictable and repetitive.
And way toooo many POVs. I liked the first books best when it was Cross's POV for 80-90% and then a few POV chapters from the killer.
