This book was very good. I'd say four out of five stars.
Alex Cross has been tortured for ten years by the murder of his wife. Several questions haunt him: "Was her death actually intended for him?" and "Was there something he could have done to prevent it?" As Alex attempts to crack a serial rape/murder case, he uncovers information that leads him to believe that the culprit is also responsible for the death of his wife, Maria.
The story is fluid. The plot builds up to the "I can't put it down" stage. The ending is satisfactory, especially the last sentence. This particular villain is particularly brutal and there is some bad language.
If you like thrillers, this is a good one. Warning: if you have never read a Patterson book starring Alex Cross, don't start with this one. Try to read them in order.
