James Patterson - Mary, Mary

Mary, Mary by James Patterson

I'm glad this book came along at this point in the series - the books were getting to follow a similar pattern, but this book broke the mold and added a different streak of excitement.
Without giving too much away, this book makes you 'feel' for Alex Cross - the father more than Alex Cross - the guy almost always getting killed.
Additionally, some ongoing questions are (nearly) answered and some new situations arise. Once again, I'm ready to start up the next book... or at least I would be if I didn't have so many other series to read!

James Patterson - London Bridges

London Bridges (Alex Cross #10)   by James Patterson 

It took me waaaay too long to read this book.  The truth is, things have been busy lately.  However, this was a good read with, what author Michael Connelly terms as, literary terminal velocity. 

(Intentionally vague to avoid SPOILERS) - In the 10th Alex Cross book, many things come together and some big questions are answered.  As you can tell by the usual nursery-rhyme influenced title, London is involved.  Dr. Cross not only travels cross-country, but also around the world garnering international recognition as well as new contacts.

James Patterson - Pop Goes The Weasel

Pop Goes the Weasel (Alex Cross, #5) by James Patterson

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Another quick Patterson read. At the end of the previous 'Cross' book, he gives a touch of this story. However, it takes until the middle of this book in order to get back to that position. On the downside, some of the events in the book didn't seem to fit (as explained) and were a little akwardly connected. The ending was pretty good yet slightly far-fetched.
