Thriller Review: Along Came a Spider (Alex Cross #1) by James Patterson
Hello, Fellow Book Worms and Book Dragons, Along Came a Spider is written by James Patterson. It is published by Hatchet Book Group under their Little Brown & Company imprint. In it we are introduced to Homicide Detective Alex Cross. He has seen the worst of what society has to offer the world, including the murder of his wife. But when two cases collide, he is forced to choose. On one side of Washington, D.C. lay two murdered women and a baby. On the other side is the kidnapping of a diplomat's son and the daughter of a movie star. His superiors want him to take the kidnapping case to utilize his hostage negotiating skills. He is paired with the Secret Service head, Jezzie Flanagan, and the two embark on a case that draws dangerously close to his other case. Will they escape the hands of a killer or be caught in the spider's web? This novel was a mixed bag for me. I enjoyed the overall story and the characters were fun to...
