Advantages: Excellent follow on to earlier books

Disadvantages: erm...

Another offering from James Patterson in this series of thrilling suspense books starring Alex Cross, a Washington FBI Police agent turned Psychologist.

This novel starts by taking a flashback to earlier books when Alex's wife Maria was shot dead and she died in his arms. The killer was never caught but this book answers some the questions fans of this series have been wanting to know.

Alex whilst working with his former FBI parter in the hunt for a serial murderer and rapist they discover some links to the murder of his wife, and so the pusuit of 'the butcher' is on!

I really enjoyed this novel, and like the others in the series was a real page turner and a nice easy read. The vivid descriptions of horrendous murders and sexual assualts might not appeal to everyones taste though. If you haven't read the previous books its probably best to start there first to get the most out of Cross, but you could read this in isolation if yoy wanted as the earlier plot is revisited at the start of the book.

Summary: Good suspense thriller
