My Summary:
James Patterson is known for his twists and turns in a novel, and this one didn’t disappoint. I wasn’t sure if I was ready to dive into another detective series by him, Alex Cross holds a special place in my literary heart, but I’ve now made room for Michael and the rest of the Bennetts. This book went from having me in tears, to having me on the edge of my seat and I loved every moment of it. Two thumbs way up!
Thanks for the review! I haven't ever read a James Patterson novel but I probably should haha any top recommendations?
I recommend starting his Alex Cross series. There are a few movies out based off of it, but the books are so much better.
