Title: A bit of a stretch
Review: I am a true Patterson fan, but did not enjoy this book. It does keep you interested enough to keep reading, but that is all that it has to offer. I felt that there were too many "side plots" going on which weren't necessary; as many people have also written, 500 words could have covered the amount of plot that happened in 500 pages. I felt that the ending was a stretch... it served well to patch things up nicely for a neat conclusion and left readers open for a continuation in the series, but did a patchy job at that. I don't always want a "tidy" ending, I want one that is interesting and intriguing yet believable.I do enjoy the "Alex Cross" series, and loved the next novel in the series "Kiss the Girls", so if you have read this one and weren't a fan, don't discriminate against some of his other offerings.
