Title: so disappointed!
Review: I, like so many other James Patterson/Alex Cross fans, was anxiously awaiting this book, the next chapter in the life and career of Alex Cross. I was so disappointed in the lack of development of this book! It had a weak premise, the characters lacked development, the actual "dirty deeds" were not even entertaining much less interesting, and even the personal story line of our favorite detective was, again, under developed. It was almost as if James Patterson had a ghost writer who just didn't get the personality of the key players nor the angle of suspense that Patterson himself has been known to deliver. I can't imagine anticipating the sequel. I know that as a loyal fan I will probably read it, if for no other reason than to hope that the return of the core Cross family will be more developed and realistic than in this book, but I look forward to the book after that when this story can be put to rest and, hopefully, the true James Patterson will again emerge.
