The sixth installment in the heart-racing Alex Cross series.
I don’t know if I am sweating because it is hot in my house
and I am drinking coffee, or if it is because of the emotional roller coaster
that this book just sent me on.
I am guessing the latter.
This is probably one of the best suspense/thriller novels I
have read in a long time. Probably since the second book in this series Kiss
the Girls.
Alex Cross is put on a disturbing case involving multiple
bank robberies and murders.
The problem – They are all organized by one person, The
Mastermind.
Who is the Mastermind? He is an intelligent person that has
access to all of the information he would ever need. How is this possible? Is
this man someone inside of the FBI, the police force, or does he just have the
best resources anyone could imagine? Well, you will just have to read it to
find out…
We meet a new character in this one – Betsey. She is the
head of the investigation from the FBI’s side. She is smart, witty, and an
overall good person.
I really enjoyed how she and Alex worked together.
This was one of the most interesting cases I think. Just
because we don’t figure out who is behind it until the end, so it is a mystery.
It was mysterious, it was disturbing, and it takes you on a wild ride.
5/5 stars for sure. If I could choose one book out of all
that I have read to receive a full 5/5 rating, this one would be it. It is a
must read. But do yourself a favor and read the previous 5 Alex Cross books
before diving into this one. It isn’t necessary, but just trust me on that.
Just…. WOW.
It is going to take me awhile to recover from this one.
Read ahead for spoilers!
