simone_walker 's review for:

Criss Cross by James Patterson
3.0

Thanks to NetGalley and The Publisher for this eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I'm a fan of James Patterson and have read all of the Alex Cross books. This is the 27th in the series. The earlier books were really excellently constructed but over the years they have become very formulaic.

This is a simple thriller, prefect for the beach (where I read it) or when you want something less taxing. Its still a page turner but everything is so obvious, i felt I was reading to confirm if my suspicions were correct - and they were. But there's a comfort and enjoyment that I get from reading this series that means I will be eagerly waiting for the next instalment and hoping for a return to the Alex cross of old.

Not the best but still worth a read if you like this sort of thing.
