Book Review: I, Alex Cross by James Patterson (Alex Cross 16)


After a couple of recent diversions for Alex Cross novels – one trip to Africa and the other a historical dip back into the Cross family history 100 years before, we are back on track with this novel.

The novel opens with Alex Cross's niece being murdered and he is out to find the killer with a vengeance. This time it is personal. However he soon discovers that he is up against some important and dangerous people who have carried out this crime. There are also many more victims.

Cross and his girlfriend Brianna Stone (herself a detective) move into the shady world of fantasy laced with crime.

How will Cross take down his niece's killer? This novel has many twists and turns before we discover how he does.

Getting back to form for me 7/10.
