James Patterson is always a great read, fast and fun read and he did not disappoint this time. I guess it is on to the next book in the series.

Quick story about AlexCross facing his nemesis, Gary Soneji, who died 10+ years ago...or did he? Moves quickly.

Fast paced enjoyable read

That went quick. Alex Cross novels are usually wick reads but this book shot format is really fast. I hope I’m reading this in the right order as I want to find out what happens next.

This book was awful and James Patterson belongs in word jail. Horribly written, with stock characters so stereotypical it borders on racist. The Indian tech expert is "at one with the Internet". Alex Cross is suspicious of a young man in baggy jeans, but it turns out that he's a college student and Alex learns a valuable lesson about judging people based on appearances. Each "chapter" is about 2-3 pages long. It's like a Dan Brown book for people with ADHD.

Alex Cross, I'm coming for you--even from the grave if I have to.

Along Came a Spider killer Gary Soneji has been dead for over ten years. Alex Cross watched him die. But today, Cross saw him gun down his partner. Is Soneji alive? A ghost? Or something even more sinister?

Nothing will prepare you for the wicked truth.

This is a Bookshot by James Patterson and is a follow on from Cross the Line (No. 24) and a prequel to The People vs. Alex Cross (No. 25).

I have loved the Alex Cross series from the beginning and each book keeps the series alive and exciting. This short read is fast-paced and I was genuinely guessing if Gary Soneji was still alive or not. Great ending and I can't wait to start the next in the series.
