book cover of   Cross Fire    (Alex Cross, book 17)  by  James Patterson

_Cross Fire_  by James Patterson

Patterson continues to develop the character, Alex Cross, and his ongoing antagonist, Kyle Craig, in this novel. It has hints of being the last in the Cross series, but that’s just my own opinion.

The story starts to get a bit predictable and too convenient from the clues of the crimes, intertwining of different cases, antagonizing between Cross and Craig, and Cross’s own family/love story. While I did keep turning the pages on my iPad at a rather quick pace, it was more out of the ease of the read rather than anticipation of what was coming up next.

Maybe it’s time for me to start branching out my contemporary authors and genres because I’m starting to get bored with these kind of crime thrillers (at least for the time being). In any case, at least I can say that I’m caught up the Cross saga by Patterson for now. 🙂

More to come…
