Another Patterson thriller, I enjoyed it, beginning to end. I am grateful for the variety of his stories.

The mystery was fast moving, easy to connect with characters, every thing I expect from Patterson stories. It keeps me wanting to read the next book.

Even though I felt this was a "typical" Patterson crime novel I did enjoy some of the plot twists and turns you experience in the last quarter of the book.
I felt connected to the main protagonist and his immediate family. The connection between the protagonist and the antagonist was deliberate and I don't know how anyone could root for the bad guys. All in all this was an easy read with a great set of events to build you up to the conclusion. I gotta admit the last twist caught me off guard when I thought I had figured it out to find out my assumption was wrong! Love it.

I enjoy all of James Patterson's books especially the Alex Cross books.  I enjoy thriller books and Alex Cross Run was thrilling and enjoyable as all his books.  From the first time I picked up a James Patterson he has been my favorite author.

The Murder Club series of Patterson's is one of my favorites.  Each one is fast  paced, has complex plots, but familiar ch,  Iaracters make it like an old friend. I try not to miss one.

This is good Patterson. He's left Alex Cross for awhile and now seems focused on Lindsay Boxer of the San Francisco P.D., home to Dirty Harry and Bullit so not a bad place to start. At the writing of this review I'm only at #1, and #s 2 and 3 still await me. After the aviary disaster of the 2 Beachhouses I swore off Patterson for awhile as to this reviewer, he was mailing in his name and what ever unfinished plot he happened to have lying around his home. Of course we were buying it so who really was to blame?

This more typical of the former Patterson, violent crimes, smart but vulnerable investigators, and a couple of nice, unsuspected twists that fool us at the end.

Kudos to the introduction of a mostly female wrecking crew. Done nicely. There seems to be good dialogue when they get together. I found the usual mortar between dialogue and the action to be lacking. I liked the Woman''s Murder Club conversations and imagined myself a fly on the wall; I liked the action of the plotting of the crime and the eventual fait accompli; I found the binding force between the two lacking, occasionally giving it a staggered effect. That was my only complaint.

 I look forward to #2 and #3. 4 stars. Larry Scantlebury

I always enjoy the suspense that all of James Patterson's books have. You never know, for sure, until the end what's going to happen.

Kept me reading all the way to the end which is the way every book should be.  Can't get enough of Patterson

Again James Patterson has come up with a "killer" of a good story. At first I was not sure, but the further you get into the book, the more enjoyable it became. I loved learning a bit more of Nana Mama's back story, and Alex's. Going home to his start was a great way to introduce more of the family. Well, more than we have met prior to this anyway. James Patterson knows his science and how to investigate a murder. Well paced, interesting local and some of the best characters ever in a book. If you have not read any of his previous books, that is ok but trust me, it is best to start at the beginning and enjoy the books in order. I recommend this series to any lover of mysteries and murder.

I enjoyed the book, a quick read, as are all of Mr. Patterson's books lately.  At least this was one that I wanted to finish. The last two books of his, I gave up since I was bored.  If you are a Patterson "fan", this is worth a try.  It is probably available from a library.

Excellent casual read. I found it to be typical James Patterson which is a good thing.  Enjoyable read.
I typically look for James Patterson and Michael Connally for my more "informal, easy" books to read.
They usually never fail.

I found it not to be like his originals. Kept you in suspense for longer periods of time. It was ok but I found it to predictable. Nothing against Mr Patterson. I have a collection of his earlier editions
