Kill Alex Cross

I am a big fan of James Patterson. I especially love his Alex Cross series. I believe when he first started writing this series he had me addicted. The last couple of books it seemed as if he was lost as to what to write. The story just did not captivate me, the only reason I read them is because I am addicted to this series. I feel, sometimes authors get stuck in a rut because they write so many books they forget they are writing for the reader not the publisher.
This book changed my feelings. It was back to what I expected of Mr. Patterson. I was hooked. This book actually had a good plot. I can say I finished this book not because I needed to feel a sense of fulfillment, i read it to the end because it was a truly good read.

I recommend it!

The President's son and daughter are abducted, and Detective Alex Cross is one of the first on the scene. But someone very high-up is using the FBI, Secret Service, and CIA to keep him off the case and in the dark.

A deadly contagion in the water supply cripples half of the capital, and Alex discovers that someone may be about to unleash the most devastating attack the United States has ever experienced.

As his window for solving both crimes narrows, Alex makes a desperate decision that goes against everything he believes—one that may alter the fate of the entire country. KILL ALEX CROSS is faster, more exciting, and more tightly wound than any Alex Cross thriller James Patterson has ever written!
