Though I have read

some of James Patterson's books before, it has been a long time since I have read any in the Alex Cross Series.
Fortunately for me this book can be read as a standalone, There is quite a lot going on in this story that it needs your full concentration to keep track of all the characters.
This is a really well written book that's fast paced with plenty of action, Like all of James Patterson's books the chapters are short, of which I quite like, This is a really good political thriller,

I would like to thank NetGalley, Random House UK, Cornerstone and the author James Patterson for my ARC in exchange for an honest review.
In the craziness that is James Pattersons massive collection of collaborative efforts, it is hard to find something that truly has the Patterson flavour any longer.
While he has shuffled many of his series and oneoff novels to others, the Alex Cross novels remain solely his, allowing fans to see where he has taken his longestserving protagonist over two decades.
In this novel, Alex Cross and the rest of the country are stunned by the death of the President of the United States, an event that resonates, no matter ones political leanings.
As the country seeks to brush itself off, Washington is stunned by a new set of murders, including one of a sitting US senator.
Alex is pulled in to work the case by the FBI, which forces him to keep his wife, Chief of Detectives Bree Stone, away from the action.
As they work, the case seems somewhat open and shut, with a suspect all but pointing to where they committed the crime.
Then, things take a definite turn, Multiple murders of several highranking officials lead Cross and the FBI to feel that there might be an international threat to the United States.
Its no longer a criminal they seek, but a country ready to do whatever it takes to weaken America.
With nuclear weapons on hand, this could quickly escalate into a war from which no one will walk away unscathed.
Patterson does well to amp up the action as Alex Cross continues to entertain, in his twentysixth novel.
Recommended to series fans and those who want to ride the wave of international meddling in American affairs.


It is becoming harder for me to find myself hooked on James Patterson series of late.
While I have come to really enjoy some of his longrunning collections, they begin to get a little stale or outlive their run.
Alex Cross has always been a stalwart for me, something on which I can rely, While the characters age, Alex never lets that dilute his work on crimes or his passion for family.
Still, one must begin to wonder if there is a time and place to let him hang up the cuffs and enjoy those around him.
I began to feel that way about this book, as things have become somewhat stagnant, The crime is surely out of this worldwell, countrybut I was left wondering if things simply have run out for Alex Cross and if he needs to let someone else take over.
Cross is a remarkable man and his character is second to none, though I think it is not him that is so bothersome, but some of the corny interactions he has with patients and his own family that has me soured.
Great kids, lovely wife, and a funny grandmother, but its just a little too hokey in the dialogue.
Id never want Patterson to wipe them out, for that his the Cross foundation and all that keeps him sane.
Still, they tend to grate on my nerves, which spills over to creating an animosity for me as I read.
The premise of the story is great and could really have worked well, I think it needed some more grit, something deeper and more intense, There are some wonderful political and criminal elements in the story that I would love to see in a series or oneoff that can dedicate time to this sort of political thriller, but Pattersons use of short chapters and hokey family subplots were not for me.
An easy read and I will always keep Patterson around for that, but could it be that Alex Cross novels are falling victim to James Patterson Syndrome Might they be selling for the name on the cover and not the quality of the writing We can at least applaud him for a wonderful cliffhanger ending!

Kudos, Mr.
Patterson, for keeping Alex Cross going, I know I can be tough, but I think its fair game when you are so established and basking in fortune

Alex Cross
by James Patterson

Alex Cross is James Patterson's most famous character, Morgan Freeman portrayed him twice, in two very memorable performances as Alex Cross.


I've read allnovels in the Alex Cross series and you'd think afternovels I'd be ready to say goodbye to this series but no.
This is the only series that Patterson doesn't use a co author on so the writing in this series is a compelling read.


TARGET: UNITED STATES CABINET

A sniper's bullet strikes a target in the heart of DC.
Alex Cross's wife, Bree Stone, newly elevated chief of DC detectives, faces an ultimatum: solve the case, or lose the position for which she's worked her entire career.
The Secret Service and the FBI deploy as well in the race to find the shooter.
Alex is tasked by the new President to take a personal role with the FBI, leading an investigation unprecedented in scale and scope.


TARGET: ALEX CROSS

Alex has a horrible premonition: is the sniper's strike only the beginning of a larger attack on the nation It isn't long before his fears explode into life, and the nation plunges into a fullblown Constitutional crisis.
His ingenuity, his training, and his capacity for battle are tested beyond limits in the most farreaching and urgently consequential case of his life.
As the rule of law is shattered by chaos, and Alex fights to isolate a suspect, Alex's loyalty may be the biggest danger of all.


Another brilliant installment in this series,stars. I had so many James Patterson books on my bookshelves until about a month ago, when they found a new home with my Auntie and Uncle.
I kept the best of the best Kiss the girls, Along came a spider, Roses are red.
I have read quite a few, but it was just time to let someone else have a go.


This popped up on Netgalley and I thought that a digital copy couldn't hurt, I don't need room on my bookshelves for it.
Let's have another one! :

This is a great thriller, it is numberin the series, but can be read as a standalone.
I admit I haven't read a James Patterson for a little while, but I got straight into it and the writing was familiar, which helped.
The one thing that started putting me off JP recently, was his collaborations, I don't enjoy many of the ones he has written with others, as much as the earlier 'all him' ones.
So this next instalment of the Alex Cross series was great to read,

It's political and fast paced, I couldn't keep up with all of the political and american jargon, but I made do.


The short chapters helped me read this quite quickly, and whilst the plot was somewhat unrealistic you needed to suspend belief to really get on board with it I enjoyed the story telling.
JP is a master at spinning a good yarn and getting you invested in his stories.


Target : Alex Cross lacks the grittiness of his earlier work, but non the less was a riveting read from start to finish.
I would recommend.

sitelinkwww. thebeautifulbookbreak. com I very much enjoyed the read of Target, I thought it was well written, kept amazing suspense and was really pleased that Patterson won an award in the topbooks for the Alex Cross Series.
I'm guessing this is the book he worked on with Bill Clinton, Assassins are running amok all over DC and the whole United States in this Alex Cross story.
Patterson intrigues his readers by revealing the details of the assassins' preparations, disguises, aliases, and elaborate rehearsals, but he doesn't let us know who the targets are or if the planned crimes are connected until late in the novel, just in time to knock your socks off.
After some seemingly random events, Alex Cross begins to experience ominous premonitions, and his gut is right on target.
Patterson's stories are anything but stale, as he takes Alex through the new world of cyberhacking and cryptocurrency necessary to crack the case.
And for those of us who love the Cross family, they are all there at the table for comic relief and anchoring Alex to a greater purpose between car chases and dodging bullets.


When a ring of six elite assassins strikes D, C. , Alex Cross teams up with the Secret Service and the FBI to take down a dangerous threat that could destroy America.


A leader has fallen, and Alex Cross joins the procession of mourners from Capitol Hill to the White House.
Then a sniper's bullet strikes a target in the heart of D, C. Alex Cross's wife, Bree Stone, must either solve the case or lose her position as the city's newly elevated chief of detectives.
The Secret Service and the FBI deploy as well in the race to find the shooter.
Alex is tasked by the new President to lead an investigation unprecedented in scale and scope.
But is the sniper's strike only the beginning of a larger attack on the nation
Thanks, Mr.
Patterson, for another thrilling ride, This may have been the moment where Alex Cross jumped the shark, The plot of this is just so ludicrous, Cross isn't even involved in half the book, It very well could have been Events that Happened While Alex Cross Lived His Life.
This would have worked better as one of Patterson's stand alone novels, Cross could have been removed from this and the same story more or less unfold, I love that I have gone back to the Alex Cross series, This book was full of action and twists, . . oh and that ending!! Love it!!,
