Book Review: Roses are Red by James Patterson (Alex Cross 6)


Alex Cross gets to take on the Mastermind. A series of bank robberies leads to some very precise demands. Extreme violence ensues if the demands are not precisely met too.

His old adversary Kyle Craig comes back to taunt Alex Cross and even turns up at his son's christening.

More bank robberies lead to more savage and senseless killings. There is more here than gain. The hunt is on for the Mastermind and he taunts Alex Cross and his team. Many long roads are travelled before he is hunted down.

To worry him even further, one of his children becomes seriously ill and Cross has to devote himself to his family while carrying on with the hunt for the serial killer.

The ending of the book is particularly good.

8/10 for me on this one.
