Ah, Alex Cross. You were the first James Patterson character I ever loved. The first detective to draw me in and make my addiction to detective novels something of legend around my friends and family. The first of many reasons why James Patterson became my personal hero. 20 books into the series Mr. Patterson is continuing to throw you into situations that make my heart pound against my ribs. I could not put this one down and I enjoyed every minute of the ride with Mr. Cross courtesy of Mr. Patterson.
However, it was not my favorite Alex Cross book (a prestigious title that would have to belong to "Roses are Red"). That being said, anyone who knows James Patterson knows it's not only the heroes who make his stories amazing. Patterson has a strange ability to bring your deepest fears to life in his villains. They are completely realistic, yet scary and twisted enough to lose sleep over. This was no different. In fact, this crop of villains will be haunting my imagination for months or years to come. 4 stars for the author that can do no wrong.

legitimately terrible yet incredibly entertaining. i had a LOT of fun reading this book and would recommend it to pretty much nobody.
I think this has to be one of James Patterson's best book in recent history. There were a tally a couple of story lines in this book but they flowed together perfectly.
Another great installment of this series! Are they the best written? No. Are they wildly entertaining and suck me in immediately? Absolutely.
I do love me some Alex Cross. This one almost made me cry about Ava at the end too.
Another great story in the Alex Cross series - although I was sad to see what happened to Ava at the end. But then they had no real DNA evidence, just the necklace. Could have been anybody?!
I was going to read something else next but think I'll read the next book in the Alex Cross series instead - just in case something new comes to light!
