I'm addicted...

So, I'm addicted to James Patterson. There are many mystery writers who are better, and some who are a lot worse. With Patterson, at least you know that you'll get a fast-paced, action-filled book without a lot of tedious and long-winded descriptions. Patterson cuts right to the chase in Double Cross, his 13th book in his Alex Cross series.

Dr. Alex Cross is no longer working law enforcement. Instead, he's back to private practice and seeing patients. He is also dating senior homicide detective, Brianna Stone, a rising star in the DC Metro Police. While on a camping trip, Stone gets called to a murder scene. A best-selling mystery writer, Tess Olsen, was brutally murdered in front of a large audience. The killer is a serial killer and leaves a message for Dr. Cross. Cross comes back on board with DC Metro on a part-time basis to deal with this case. Within days, the killer strikes again--this time during a performance at Lincoln Center. Stone, Cross, the Metro and the FBI all work around the clock, trying to stop this monster (now dubbed The Audience Killer) before he strikes again. But to make matters even more complicated, former Cross friend and FBI agent-turned serial killer, Kyle Craig, is somehow involved. Are these two working together? Are they competing against each other? The only definite is that they both have their sights on Dr. Cross.

In Double Cross, we get to see the growing importance of using the internet and especially, blog sites, to catch criminals. It's amazing that an FBI agent sitting in front of a computer can be just as important as those in the field.

As Alex Cross books go, Double Cross is a decent read.

gave me double vision

I just don't know.

I liked it, it was quick, it was good, but yet I have this ache in my side like it was sort of painful.

Just too much going on, too many people, too many killers, too many things to keep track of.

Believe it or not I liked it for the most part. It was worth the read. Didnt care for the ending - wont give it away but felt it was weak.

I recommend it, I cant help it I love Alex Cross. Kept me interested, parts were very clever, and it did cost me sleep so it must be worth the time.

Enjoy,

Disappointing

I've been huge fan of the Alex Cross books since I first started reading them a few years ago. James Patterson put a lof of thought and effort into them. I'm sure I was not the only one that got hooked. This book was not the same for me. It seemed like Patterson got distracted at the end of this book and just wrote a quick, crappy ending. It was good up until the last 40 pages or so. I would recommend reading this book if you've read the rest of the series, just to keep up since it is a quick read. If you're not familiar with the series, start at the beggining, it'll be a better use of your time.
