I received an ARC of this book from the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This did not affect my opinion of the book or my review itself.
I love the characters of Alex Cross and John Sampson. I have since the first book they were in together. I will read anything they are in. And this book did not disappoint.
While Cross and Sampson are involved in different plot lines in different states, their connection as best friends remains pivotal. Both plots are strong-one Alex’s missing son, one a serial bomber case-and both have so many excellent twists and turns.
While both plots are compelling, I think Alex’s had me most invested, because we have watched his son grow up in the books. But John’s was so harrowing and felt so immediate that I couldn’t stop flipping pages. I haven’t really been a fan of two of the most recent Patterson’s I’ve read, but this book felt like Patterson was back. I would recommend this book.
