A final comment, and also the reason I piped up (ad nauseum) in the first place; the tail end of the preceding article refers to Cross being “the ultimate heroine”. I guess I missed the gender identity crises that apparently plagued Alex Cross’ life throughout the series. I wonder how his public restroom visits while in North Carolina were played out? Wow, talk about a plot twist……(yes, this IS intended to be sarcasm!). Reply Kay had many enemies, but all of them seemed to need her alive. The harder the investigators push, the more resistance they find when they leave behind the polite law offices and doctors' quarters of the state capital. Alex Cross will need to use all his skills as a doctor, a detective, and a family man to prevent that resistance from turning lethal . . . again. As a reader you are drip fed information but you know that there’s always vital clues that Cross and his team know that you don’t. I found myself desperately wanting to know what was in the file or what someone had told them. How dare they know more than me!!! Everything is pursued very logically, there’s never a sense of “why would they do that” or something obvious being missed. You’re fed just enough information throughout to have you guessing what’s going to happen or who did it without ever being given enough that you can foretell the future of the story. Alex Cross, on his first case with the FBI, confronts a perplexing mystery that leaves his new colleagues bewildered. Across the nation, individuals are vanishing in broad daylight without a trace. Alex discerns that these abductions are not driven by ransom demands but rather involve a disturbing underground trade. The enigmatic figure known as the Wolf, a ruthless criminal who has unleashed a reign of terror in the world of organized crime, appears to be the puppeteer behind this operation. British diplomat Geoffrey Shafter is a man who never loses, he is prepared to play the game of games for the highest stakes of all.Alex Cross is the ultimate heroine!!! boy, I have gotten used to bad grammar and apostrophes in the wrong place but this is just too much. Also I think I remember there being used instead of their at the beginning of the revue. Lord help us!! Reply When a police officer is killed, Detective Alex Cross steps up to take command of his force who are scrambling for answers. As a brutal crime wave sweeps the region, an intriguing connection links these deadly scenes.

Deadly Cross - James Patterson - 2020 Books - Review Of Deadly Cross - James Patterson - 2020

This is the first Alex Cross novel I have read. I have seen the two films, Kiss the Girls and Along came a Spider. I didn’t realise this was number 28, so I have a lot of books to look forward to reading. A very enjoyable read, lots of characters to get through. It was the first Alex Cross I read and loved it, reading it in one setting. It's gripping, fast paced and highly entertaining. Complex connections become apparent, keeping the reader guessing until the very end. A thoroughly enjoyable read, highly recommended. Alex Cross is preparing to resign from the Washington Police Force. He’s enjoying the feeling; not least because the Mastermind is now in prison. And Alex has met a woman, Jamilla Hughes, and he is talking about the future. Then John Sampson shows up at the house, desperate for Alex’s help. Three young military wives have been brutally killed during a ‘girls’ night out’ and Sampson’s friend, a master sergeant at the army base, stands accused.While there was a lot going on in this book, it never lost its pace and not did it confuse the reader. Another fantastic Alex Cross book!! It is really helpful to see a chronological listing of the Alex Cross novels. However, the mistakes in both grammar and spelling have casted a cloud of doubt over the writer’s attention to detail.
