Alex Cross must pull together the most powerful law enforcement agencies to save millions of people from the most vicious predator he has ever faced--the Big Bad Wolf. In his tenth Alex Cross novel, Patterson presents a bonus special section on the beloved FBI agent.
From The Publisher:
In the tenth book in the Alex Cross series, the popular detective squares off against two of his most lethal enemies: the Wolf (from THE BIG BAD WOLF) and the Weasel (from POP GOES THE WEASEL). As a special bonus, the mass market edition will include a chronological list of milestones in Alex Cross's life, both personal and professional, and will include events in Cross's life that have never been revealed before.
The Cross series has really gone down hill from gripping exciting and twisty it has just taken to coasting on Cross's quirky personality and a succession of revolting and evil villains with the name's of animals. Very silly very shallow and with its chronology of Cross's life quite pretentious.
"London Bridges" is a shallow, yet fast and painless read. Slick and impersonal like the last several Alex Cross thrillers, enough warmth and personality still comes through in the main character to somewhat make up for the goofy plot contrivances and lack of depth. And it was also kind of entertaining to see Mr. atterson, apparently with a straight face, revise the true identity of the villainous "Wolf" every fifteen pages or so. I swear, there seemed to be at least twenty distinct dramatic "revelations" about the Wolf's secret identity during the course of the book, each one almost immediately discredited in favor of the next "no, it's really HIM!" or "no, it's really HER!" moment. Sheesh, it was enough to make your head spin.
But, in the end, shortcomings aside, "London Bridges" is silly, harmless fun. But, I have to admit, the best I can say about the book is that it's not boring, which is not quite the same thing as saying that it's very good.
