Fear No Evil (Alex Cross, 29)

Product Information

They are told that they are being watched and before then can get a grip on what to do or where to turn, bodies begin to pile up. Bree has started a new job with a private security firm and is off to Paris on her first assignment which turns out to be a little dicey for her.

Not only does the novel jump between Cross and Bree, it offers us glimpses into the Maestro organization with occasional bits on M. That being said, thirty novels may be a sign that Cross should enjoy time with the family and let the likes of Bennett and Boxer, other stalwart Patterson detectives, take the reins and keep things going.

The setting is a little different to the usual (country Montana for the last part), and Bree is running her own business (suspend belief on that aspect of the plot), but that is about where it ends on the novelty front. Really it is all delightful nonsense but the baddies are bad, the main characters face terrible odds but always win in the end, and reading the book is one of the better ways to pass a few hours of the day. This, like all other Alex Cross books, is definitely worth a read, and I will be an Alex Cross fan forever. Sampson is still grieving the death of his wife, Billie, and trying to be a good father to their little girl, Willow. This book was good and had quite a bit of action; however, it did not keep me on the edge of my seat.

While I usually offer a detailed summary of the storyline for other reviewers to enjoy, I can’t be bothered today, preferring to offer a quick summary of my sentiments so that I can move along.Cross and Sampson were planning an adventure getaway when all this commenced, but their plans have been delayed. This is Book 29 of 30 for the Alex Cross series, a series anno like me many started years back and many, also like me, for whatever reason stopped, am not sure what book I last read but have no fear James Patterson hasn’t changed and this was readable, if not particularly inspiring, it says something about him ( and lets be honest he is amazing ) that years on I DID remember some of the characters and about Alex’s life, there is a very helpful synopsis? The focus was also on Alex’s best friend, John Sampson, and his daughter, which deserved some stage time too.
