The Big Bad Wolf
by
by
Book 9 in the Alex Cross series.
This has nothing new; the only new thing is the names of the characters.
This is nothing more than formula writing. The first two books were a huge success so why kill that goose that gave you these eggs.
The story staggers between gross violence and sweetly sick sentimentality.
Alex Cross is now the FNG at the FBI. Although he is still undergoing training the FBI feel he is the right man to take on the Wolf, who is one seriously sick individual.
If the intent was to show just how incompetent the FBI are then this is a roaring success. How many times can the FBI get it wrong? Endlessly it seems.
Every descent thriller needs some twists and turns but it is possible to get too much of a good thing. Accusing the wrong guy became so predictable you just knew where it was heading.
This is not a bad read, if this was your first venture into the world of Alex Cross you’d thing that it’s pretty good but after reading 9 of them they start to pale a bit.
If you’re are a devoted James Patterson fan, you wont be disappointed with this effort. It’s just more of the same that you have enjoyed in the past.
3 stars is the best I can do.
