Alex Cross is back in the 17th, that's right I said 17th book in the series. I began reading all these as a challenge but now I want to know how it all ends. If it ever does. The Good News: Patterson has got all the ingredients for a well-rounded story here and the end result is like a perfectly baked cake. There is an old bad guy that even if you haven't followed the story, you remain interested. He also blends Alex's personal life well without giving us too much down time. There is also a side story going on that keeps involved at all angles. The Bad News: This is not a spoiler at all, but the last sentence in the book is "But that's a story for another time." Or something like that. He's done this before and then barely follows through. There are also a few loose ends involving whether or not certain characters are dead or alive. I won't give that away just in case you'd like to read this. Bottom Line: Patterson does it right this time. I think he's got his groove back in this one. Go read it!
