As usual this Alex Cross grabbed my attention and kept it. I do enjoy a book Patterson actually writes but I never know what I'm going to get with his co authored books. There are some that really believe Patterson writes or at least helps write these co authored books but really.....! He had this book, The Christmas Wedding, and 2 children's books published in the last month PLUS 3 more novels : Private #1 Suspect, Private Games, Guilty wives,coming in the next two months and 11th Hour in May. The people that believes he writes all of these must be delusional. A lot of people can't even read that many books in that amount of time much less write them!!!! In fact it's possible he doesn't even read these co authored books since he should have never put his name on a few of them!

Anyway- back to the book in hand. Alex Cross fans shouldn't be disappointed.
