Whew!

Very interesting twists and turns. Bummed that one new character that might have a larger impact got killed.

Patterson at his best!

A great read - I started this book on a Sunday morning and couldn’t put it down! I finished on Sunday evening, reading straight through. James Patterson never disappoints with his story telling.

Too much like Alex Cross to be its own series

Don’t get me wrong this was a great read. However because it’s Cross and Sampson I thought it would be more like this first. Building off their relationship from the very beginning.
This felt more like a typical Alex Cross book. Although Sampson and Cross were working different cases, which they have done before in other Alex Cross books. Even Bree has worked separate cases in Alex Cross books.
Not really sure why this is a separate series.
