Customer Reviews

Thrill Read Superior

James writes titilating light, yet intense, fun reads and this is an example. They wind up being too short because I can't put it down. Only regret: wish it was 1500 pages!

James Patterson Novel

Haven't met a James Patterson Novel that I don't love. Hope to see more Alex Cross books in the future!

It is another hunt for Alex Cross

Double Cross Written by: James Patterson Published by: Little, Brown, and Company ISBN: 978-0-316-01505-9 "It is another hunt for Alex Cross" Reviewed by: Stephanie Rollins for ReviewYourBook.com 5 stars James Patterson writes with such concise excitement. He omits all filler, and simple leaves the thrill. "Double Cross" is an Alex Cross mystery. I was not familiar with the character prior to reading this, but I have no doubt that readers will be glad that Alex Cross is back. In "Double Cross", there are so many questions the reader has. Nothing is obvious. I read all 389 pages in two days. I am now a Patterson fan. I will not disclose the details of "Double Cross" for fear of revealing too much. However, this is an awesome book. Do you love a good mystery? If so, stop what you are doing, and go get your copy!

Great book...

This book is excellent. This book is classic Patterson, which has been missed with his recent releases. This book is just as good as other Alex Cross titles. I wish James Patterson would release just one book a year, so he can put some time and effort into writing something that is worth reading. This book is action packed, a real page turner. Double Cross is what all James Patterson novels should be like. Overall, A+ for Double Cross.

Action Packed Book!
