A true Book-Shot,indeed.
I'm not sure Alex Cross lends well to what amounts to a novel-based commercial.
Not the worst way to spend your time but your Alex Cross appetite may be barely sated after reading this.

These Book Shots are intended to be quick reads and suffer a bit because of it. The character development is minimal, the plot feels rushed (because it is), and it was a bit heavy-handed with its social criticism. That being said, it was still a fairly entertaining way to spend a couple hours - light, fast-paced, and engaging.

Best book shot yet
This was a really quick read. In this format the author has to get to the point fast and stick with it. Plot was evident throughout.

Maybe Patterson should ONLY write Bookshots. Action packed, quick, concise story. Beginning, middle, and end. Not rushed but told an entire story. Something that has been missing from previous Cross novels.

An anonymous caller has promised to set off deadly bombs in Washington, DC. A cruel hoax or the real deal? By the time Alex Cross and his wife, Bree Stone, uncover the chilling truth, it may already be too late....
This is Patterson's longest running series, and there have been a few misses over the years but this one certainly hits all the buttons. Although this is a short read (about 160 pages), it is full of action and whilst you find out why the bombs are been set off, you are kept guessing as to who the bomber is.
Overall this is a quick paced story which is full of twists to keep the reader interested. Looking forward to reading the new book The People vs. Alex Cross shortly.
