Great story! I liked that Bree was a huge part. I hope Katie sticks around.

Fans of the series will be glad to know this one (as opposed to the last bookshop starring Alex Cross) fits into the series better.
Good challenge, decent storyline, characters you already love.

I'm usually not impressed with short stories. This is one of the good ones and wish this topic would be present in a full length book.

Probably the best BookShot that I've read. Very good Alex Cross bridge story. And possibly a character for a new Patterson series of books.

(Gift from a friend).
VERDICT: 1.3 stars, not rounded up. Not without some merit, if you enjoy this ultra-light kind of writing.
About 1/4 the length of a normal book--and about 1/4 as deep or exciting. If Patterson's stories get any more superficial than this, they'll merely be blank pages between the covers.

As a psychologist Alex Cross comes across as a great advertising executive. Jonathan Kellerman's Alex Delaware is a psychologist and the career path of the author's before they wrote novels shows in the quality of their characters.
Anyway this is called Detective Cross and apparently fits in the series prior to the recent novel although according to another website it was published after that novel.
Anyway it has Cross suspended and a mad bomber on the loose.
The moments where they "broke the case wide open" were so obvious that any detective who had not investigated these matters would not last long as a detective.
The book was not long enough to explore anything in great detail and seemed like an excuse to bring out another Cross book and make more money.
Below average.
