Alex Cross is Patterson's bread and butter character who came on the scene with two books (at least to me) - the very first two Alex Cross Books "Along Came A Spider" and "Kiss The Girls." Since then there have been countless books about Cross and they do vary in how good they were, but the very first two were great.
I read "Along Came A Spider" recently again and still enjoyed it. A perfect blend of fiction/escape writing with Cross as the centerpiece and two villans with a strange relationship, something that seems to have caught on in fiction and television. Often I will watch shows like Criminal Minds and will draw comparisons to the general concept Patterson bought out here.
Though each Cross book can stand on its own, and there is some tying in later on where you can pick things up, the very first two (Along Came the Spider and this one) should be read in order to get familiar. If you can read them all in order it does help make things easier to follow and makes them more enjoyable so that some weakness from book to book can be overlooked.

When I was a kid in junior high school, our class read a Sherlock Holmes story called "The Adventure of the Speckled Band." In the story, a villain releases a trained poisonous snake into a woman's bedroom through a ventilation aperture. After the snake administers its fatal bite, the villain summons it back through the aperture by whistling for it. The snake has to climb up a bell rope to get to the aperture, and it is rewarded for its efforts with a saucer of milk set out for it in the adjacent room. In the subsequent classroom discusion of the story, I learned that snakes can't be summoned with a whistle because they're deaf; snakes can't climb up ropes; and snakes don't drink milk.
But what on earth does this have to do with Kiss the Girls? Well, a villain in that book has a beautiful young woman stripped naked and bound with her legs hoisted up toward the ceiling. After administering a warm milk enema--some of which dribbles out--he then lets a snake out of a wicker basket. The snake gets a whiff of milk and--you guessed it--slithers into the hapless girl's fundamental orifice to get to its liquid treat.
Classic example of an author without a clue...

Having only recently been introduced to the crime novel world I'm very impressed so far with the Alex Cross series. It's nice to enjoy a crime thriller without all the gross stuff for a change. Couldn't put it down.

This 2nd book in the Alex Cross series was absolutely spellbinding! I couldn't put it down. The plot was very interesting and kept you on the edge of your seat wondering what was going to happen next. I could "see & feel" every scene and emotion as if I were right there with the characters. I would recommend reading the 1st in the series- Along came a spider - then proceed from there. I promise you won't be disappointed if you love suspense & mystery! S.L.
