Linking up with Heather @ Blonde…Undercover Blonde on this again.
This week I’m sharing James Patterson’s ‘Cross Fire’. It’s the 17th book in the series, and once again it doesn’t disappoint.
Here’s the synopsis:
Wedding bells ringDetective Alex Cross and Bree’s wedding plans are put on hold when Alex is called to the scene of the perfectly executed assassination of two of Washington D.C.’s most corrupt: a dirty congressmen and an underhanded lobbyist. Next, the elusive gunman begins picking off other crooked politicians, sparking a blaze of theories–is the marksman a hero or a vigilante?
A murderer returns
The case explodes, and the FBI assigns agent Max Siegel to the investigation. As Alex and Siegel battle over jurisdiction, the murders continue. It becomes clear that they are the work of a professional who has detailed knowledge of his victims’ movements–information that only a Washington insider could possess.
Caught in a lethal cross fire
As Alex contends with the sniper, Siegel, and the wedding, he receives a call from his deadliest adversary, Kyle Craig. The Mastermind is in D.C. and will not relent until he has eliminated Cross and his family for good. With a supercharged blend of action, deception, and suspense, Cross Fire is James Patterson’s most visceral and exciting Alex Cross novel ever.

My Summary:
Y’all ever had an experience with an annoying fly that keeps getting out of your grasp no matter how many times you try and swat it with the swatter? That’s Kyle Craig. He’s annoying and cocky as hell and he’s back. I was getting frustrated right along with Alex, as well as at him when it came to this book. It was quite the ride though, a good amount of romance between Alex and Bree, suspense with the snipers, and just annoyance with Craig.
