Title: Best alone
Product review: Dropping the nursery rhyme titles is no big deal for the Alex Cross series, I'm just glad Patterson has given us another Cross mystery. He is definitely at his best writing as a solo author. The novels coming out of his "Mystery mill" with co-authors are, for the most part mediocre, weak and not very interesting, so a new Cross mystery is a pleasant reward even though by using two and three page chapters and large print the book is heavily padded to look more formidable. The good part is "Cross" can be read in one or two sittings. From the way the book ends, with a minor cliff hanger, it seems that Patterson may already be working on another Alex Cross. His books are not great works of literature but rather pure entertainment, well plotted with interesting characters and odd ball bad guys. Read it for fun, but don't expect a lasting reward, they are just sweettooth treats for down time.
