Along Came a Spider: by James Patterson
5.0
Detective/Doctor Alex Cross and his partner Sampson are on the hunt for a man who has killed Black Families in the Projects, but they get told to stop it and come and help a kidnapping investigation. The kidnapping of Maggie Rose Dunne and Michael Goldberg two children from famous families. The kids were abducted from their school in broad daylight by their teacher Gary Soneji. Soneji is obsessed with the Lindbergh kidnapping case that happened in the 30s and uses his obsession to commit a celebrity crime.
He wants to be remembered, he wants to be famous and he wants to be noticed. Cross and Sampson aren't happy to be taken off their homicide case and put onto the kidnapping case. They eventually come around and help out, only to later find out Gary Soneji who's real name is Gary Murphy (he has a wife and daughter) is also the killer of the black families in the projects.
Gary Soneji/Murphy claims to have a split personality and doesn't know what he has done.. is this true? Can Alex see right through him?
Someone decides to cash in on the kidnapping and kidnap the girl who Gary took. But the culprits are found out by the FBI and Alex. The culprits are not who you think they would be.
Gary isn't happy he's been upstaged, he wanted to be the celebrity, he wanted to be the one who everyone talked about. Will he get revenge?
This is such a gripping story and I love the twists. I love Alex's character and I love the psychology he uses when talking to people, whether they are victims, convicts, friends or even a lover. There are such loveable characters in this book I love it so much.
