DESCRIPTION:
Appealing detective goes after repulsive psychopath Patto Alex Cross is a very attractive cop. Not only is he a clever detective, he's a good psychologist. He’s black, and continues to live in a depressed black neighborhood in DC, even though he could move away if he wished. He volunteers at a soup kitchen in his neighborhood. He's devoted to his two kids, his grandmother, and the memory of his dead wife. He's in great shape and good lookingAlex will go through a lot of turmoil in this book, and he always has our sympathy.Even the psychopath he's hunting finds something attractive about Alex. Alex is the one he most. Steve W said Alex Cross #1 Along Came a Spider. I found that James Patterson's #1 book "Along Came a Spider" is a very interesting read. It it not too often that I can find a psychological mystery to be this exceptional. The Gary Soneji/Murphy out smarting the police with being a psychopath, potential Multiple personality disorder/ personality fatigue, and being the actor with having homicidal "1 year/5 year/lifetime plans" to be famous like he feels he should be is very interesting. From what I heard (without reading any other Alex cross books), this book will set up for some storylines in the next few books al. Two thumbs up!!! I have read all of the Alex Cross books except for two,well now one. The reason I waited so long was because the first two were movies I have seen both movies and enjoyed them! I figured the books would be the same as the movies I thought WRONG "Along Came a Spider" was completely different than the movie with minimal similarities! The book was excellent, wish I never waited to read it!!! Can't wait to read "Kiss The Girls!"
