Fear No Evil (Alex Cross, 29)

Product Information

The Alex Cross series proves it ' Lee Child'A character for the ages' Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child'Alex Cross.

I'm catching new parts that I missed the first time, and the plot is really interesting, with my name all over it. This one is different from others because it's all over the place (Wyoming, Colorado, Paris, Amsterdam, Mexico, CA, MA) with the third act in Montana and the wild river! Overall, this was one of the better Alex Cross novels, moving the “M” storyline forward to a hopeful conclusion in the next book which will be his 30th outing. Patterson is known as the world’s bestselling author and has created more enduring fictional characters than any other novelist living today. An old enemy of Alex and Sampson, ‘M’ starts to send them texts letting them know he’s watching them.Meanwhile, Alex's wife, Bree, is in Europe working a case of a Philippe Abelmar, a sexual predator and embezzler for her private investigative company. I am somewhat intrigued by the ending and even if this one isn’t high up on my series favorites, I’ll still be eagerly awaiting the next. There will be some answers, and some surprises, though one answer was, I felt fairly predictable, but not enough to spoil what is a tense and adrenaline-fueled thrill ride through the beautiful and wild Montana rapids.

Cross and Sampson were planning an adventure getaway when all this commenced, but their plans have been delayed.

Just as readers sometimes find themselves in a rut, the same can be said of authors who try to churn out something worthwhile.It feels like with the way this book ended, Patterson is setting up for a big Cross/”M” faceoff in the next one to coincide with it being the 30th Alex Cross and an anniversary book. Instead, Patterson went with a reveal after the fact approach which I felt like was a missed opportunity to develop Ali directly.

Soon, more law enforcement personnel start to turn up dead, seemingly the victims of some vigilante group, and Cross and the FBI rush from state to state in an effort to identify and stop the killers. Cross and his best buddy, John Sampson, find themselves directly in the crosshairs (no pun intended). and this latest brutal and pacy thriller has the usual characters and elements that his readers have grown to love. Now, the 29th book in the series – “Fear No Evil” – has been read, and it is my first review of 2022.

Say what you will about James Patterson, his short chapters and ability to compel readers to see what happens next has not declined over the years. Alex and his DC police partner, John Sampson, are ready to leave on their man-trip to in the deep Bob Marshall Wilderness of Montana and enjoy horseback riding and rafting.
