Book Reviews of Kiss the Girls (2nd Alex Cross Novel)
Book Review: A Fast-Paced Thriller
Summary: 4 Stars
Beautiful young women have been disappearing in North Carolina and Los Angeles at an alarming rate, and some are turning up dead. So when Washington D.C. Detective Alex Cross's niece goes missing from Durham, he heads down there, determined to find her, without or without local police support. For a while, there is no support, which is why is good friend, Detective John Sampson, decides to help him. Alex is soon taunted by a killer calling himself Casanova, but he's not the only murderer aware of Alex. So is the LA serial killer known as The Gentleman Caller. Complicating things further is Alex's growing attachment to a young intern who's met Casanova in person and has good reason to fear for her life.
I'm not sure it was James Patterson's intention to create a story so strongly associated with the number two, but it struck me that two pairs of detectives are looking for Casanova, Alex has two children, and there are two serial killers at large. Whether this is significant or not probably depends on how closely you analyze the pairs' relationships.
Kiss the Girls is a fast-paced page-turner that had me totally engrossed until the lack of logic in places became irritating. To divulge where and why the logic didn't work would give too much away, but these absences made the story too contrived at times. Still, the suspense kept me reading to the satisfying conclusion.
