About this deal

Two clever pattern killers are collaborating, cooperating, competing-and they are working coast to coast. Minutes later, a huge bomb detonates a hundred feet above the ground and lays waste to homes, cars, and playgrounds: a town annihilated in an instant. I have not read many of the Alex Cross novels but James Patterson has such a fluidity to his writing that It did not feel like I was reading a book late in a series. The psychotic and evil Thierry Mulch had kidnapped Detective Alex Cross’ entire family – his beautiful wife Bree, Nana Mama and the children, Damon, Jannie and Ali had all been taken from Cross.

Taut with tension, with a rocketing pace and unique twists throughout, it was heart thumping and thrilling. House Cross finds itself back at square one, the same idyllic, perfect-world family whose problems always manage to wrap themselves up by the end of four hundred pages. Cross's ingenious pursuit of the killer produces a suspect: a British diplomat named Geoffrey Shafer. The President's son and daughter are abducted, and Detective Alex Cross is one of the first on the scene.

No one gets this big without amazing natural storytelling talent - which is what Jim has, in spades. Alex Cross] has become one of the greatest fictional detectives of all time, a character for the ages. And the fiendish mind behind all the violence has appointed himself judge, jury, and executioner, with a terrifying master plan he's only begun to put in motion. A leader has fallen, and Alex Cross joins the procession of mourners from Capitol Hill to the White House. When a string of young, blonde women go missing, the investigation leads Cross and Sampson to the most depraved, darkest corners of the internet, where murder is just another form of entertainment.

The climax of the book is exciting and rewards readers who didn’t jump ship with Cross My Heart, like a few people in the Goodreads reviews section said that they were going to do, and Patterson finds a way of pulling back readers who had a waning interest in the series. The fact that I am still entertained on the 22nd book of the Alex Cross series says something about staying power and character development. If you’ve been reading and enjoying the Alex Cross series, then Cross My Heart and Hope to Die should appeal as they very much offer more of the same quality and crime thriller suspense.It has depth, as does our protagonist, allowing the reader to see just how complex and exciting this adventure can be.
