at the beginning to bring you up to date with his career and romances, every series should have this! There is never a chance to get bored and there is alot of dead bodies for Alex and Sampson to investigate. James Patterson puts his hero Alex Cross through the wringer once again in his 29th book, and as always it is a breathtaking rollercoaster. The wilds of Montana is where most of this book takes place and there is hardly a moment to breathe with everything Alex and Sampson are facing.

The main protagonist in the series, Alex Cross, is a highly intelligent and rational detective and specialist in forensic psychologist based in Washington, D. He’s not on the job, but on a personal mission—until he’s attacked by two rival teams of assassins, controlled by the same mastermind who has stalked Alex and his family for years.Each novel contains an entirely new plotline, however, there are references to prior narratives in each new novel. One if the challenges with reading Patterson is that you have to suspend your disbelief at times because the action scenes and storylines are a bit unrealistic.

Surprisingly, a book this late in a series could be so riveting, but that is exactly the case for Fear No Evil.John is still hurting from events in the last novel, and Bree is excited about ditching politics in the DCPD and her new role in the private sector. He is the author of some of the most popular series of the past two decades – the Alex Cross, Women’s Murder Club, Detective Michael Bennett and Private novels – and he has written many other number one bestsellers including romance novels and stand-alone thrillers. Instead, Patterson went with a reveal after the fact approach which I felt like was a missed opportunity to develop Ali directly.

Amidst all this, Cross starts to receive some text messages from an old nemesis of his—known only as M—who seems to know a lot about the present case, as well as the intimate details of Cross’s family and friends. It’s always a joy when a new Alex Cross book comes out, after 29 books it’s so good to be back with the Cross and Sampson families. I enjoyed catching up with Alex, Bree and Sampson and am looking forward to the next book, where "M" or "Maestro" finally gets their comeuppance. His best friend, John Sampson his great friend since they were 10 years old has been a most enjoyable development. Until he's attacked by two rival teams of assassins, controlled by the same mastermind who has stalked Alex and his family for years.Alex Cross enters the final battle with the all-knowing genius who has stalked him and his family for years.

Caught in a web of assassins, Alex Cross enters the final battle with the all-knowing genius who has stalked him and his family for years. This is the 29th installment of bestselling author James Patterson’s wildly successful Alex Cross thriller series. 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. In Fear No Evil, Alex and Sampson have been dealing with a psychotic, criminal mastermind known as "M" or "Maestro".

As more top law enforcement personnel were murdered, always with their ‘confession’ along side them, Alex and John realized it smacked of ‘M’, the psychotic predator who’d followed them, taunting them, for years. Speaking of Cross’ family, his wife Bree --- an ex-cop herself --- takes on an assignment for the Bluestone organization, which will send her to Paris, France, in pursuit of a serial rapist and alleged killer.
