One of the greatest mysteries to never be solved in the uber-popular Alex Cross series of books by James Patterson are the events that led up to him being a single dad. Over the years, he has been a psychologist, a psychologist who is also a cop for the DC police, and a psychologist that works for the FBI.
He has three kids, raised primarily by his Grandmother, who raised him as a kid.
None of the 15or so books ever really addressed what happened with his wife. They made passing references to the fact that she was shot, but never by whom and why.
Cross makes that connection. Finally.
As a mystery book itself, Cross falls squarely into the normal James Patterson mystery formula, but as someone who has read all the Alex Cross novels, the book was more of a history lesson. It filled in a lot of gaps and appropriately so.
Cross isn’t a major work of art, but it is fun.

arent these the same dumb books you read last year?
His plots are all unique, but the format is so generic and simple that it is almost like reading a filled in outline.
