Triple Cross: (Alex Cross 30)

Product Information

The Second Story: THE MEDICAL EXAMINER: A Women's Murder Club Story begins with Lindsey Boxer and family readying to leave on a well deserved vacation, one that will make her miss the biggest case yet. But Cross isn't the only one investigating - a charismatic true-crime author has spotted patterns in the case of 'The Family Man' killer that others have missed. Book 30 - wowsers! And I think I have actually read the majority - not 100% sure as I started reading them way before book logging and reviewing became a thing in my life. But I have definitely read enough to get the gist of the series arc that continues in this book. No spoilers though...

All the ingredients are present that have made this series an enduring success and earned praise from critics and ordinary readers alike.' Inevitably, there are a few points where the reader needs to suspend disbelief, particularly where the lead couple’s cases intersect. And, probably due to having two cases running simultaneously, the final reveal of the Family Man’s identity and the motive behind the chilling murders was not as impactful as I had expected. However, Patterson makes up for the shortcomings by closing Triple Cross on a nail-biting note with the exciting possibility of a face-off between M and Alex in the oncoming episode. Simple language, short chapters, crisp dialogues and vivid descriptions make Triple Cross a rapid, riveting read, and it is not to be missed by the fans of this splendid series and any other reader looking for all-round entertainment. You can totally read each book as a stand alone but honestly just read from book 1 you get such a better picture of each of the characters and their families. You literally just feel like one of Nana Mamas kids. Talking of Nana Mama... she's like 90 something... and I was kinda on edge in this book wondering if this was gonna be the one that ya know we said goodbye to her but no way she is still going strong!!!! While husband and wife are fighting to solve their confounding mysteries, Alex’s long-time adversary, known only as ‘M’, makes his presence felt in his own disconcerting manner and his connection, if there is one, to their cases could make it all much more complicated.And the ending, I promised no spoilers but I have to say that excited me, and made me all the more excited for the next book. Job well done on #30, bring on #31...
