Book Reviews of I, Alex Cross
Book Review: (RAW Rating: 3.5) - Man Behind The Mask
Summary: 4 Stars
James Patterson brings back one of his most captivating characters in his sixteenth book of the Alex Cross series. In previous books, Cross' demeanor was dedicated, almost to a fault, to his profession. But, in I, ALEX CROSS I felt Cross was more approachable. In other books, he has had several relationship problems, and more than one career change, but in this one I was reminded of the 'more balanced' Cross initially introduced to readers.
The niece of Cross has just been murdered and he is torn. Because he lost contact with her, some 20 years ago, there is an element of guilt, and then there is his personal connection with the gruesome crime. As he begins his investigation, he is shocked to learn what his niece had been into, and that there have been some mysterious disappearances and maybe more killings. When the cloud starts taking form, Cross uncovers call girls, murders, and an indomitable masked character called Zeus. The signs point to the house on Pennsylvania Avenue, and Cross is asked off the case. In the midst of this investigation, Cross has to share his mental state with serious health issues that have hospitalized Nana. Alex and his girlfriend, Detective Brianna Stone, are soon facing some very important, very protected and extremely dangerous people, and the acute realization that people who operate at this level will do anything to protect their secrets. But, Alex Cross has faced his fair share of foes, and even though this killer seems untouchable, he does not back down.
I, ALEX CROSS shares a vulnerable, more tranquil, yet still un-intimidated Alex Cross; like glimpsing the true reality of the man. Because of the gruesome nature of the crimes, I anticipated a dedicated build up, to a confrontation/battle with a nemesis, and I expected a climatic ending. With that being said, this book is still an intriquing story about corruption, murder and mayhem, and should please fans.
