An Okay Cross Thriller


Double Cross
By: James Patterson
Little Brown 2007

Psychiatrist and former FBI Alex Cross has settled into a quiet and comfortable private practice. That is until his girlfriend, Detective Brianna Stone, is assigned to a case that brings Cross back into the game. The killer using the general populace as an audience for his heinous murders and wanting to get the famous Alex Cross’ attention.
After 13 Alex Cross thrillers it does become difficult to keep coming up with new and interesting psychopathic killers. What keeps me coming back for more is Alex Cross himself. I am interested to see what will threaten him next. However; while I do still enjoy the Alex Cross series of books above all other Patterson novels, when I look back on the earlier Alex Cross novels, I know that there is no comparison in the quality of the stories. For fans of James Patterson and the Alex Cross series, you will probably read this book regardless, but otherwise I don’t think there is anything really amazing or different to keep the average reader enthralled.
