My rating: 5 of 5 stars
“Shots ring out in the early morning hours in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. When the smoke clears, a prominent police official lies dead, leaving the city’s police force scrambling for answers.”
These were the lines that compelled me to read the book and I can’t say I regret it. Cross the Line starts with a bike chase followed by a shootout followed by many more incidents that will leave the readers hooked to the story. Alex Cross along with his partner John Sampson and his wife Bree are called in to investigate the bike chase but before they can make any headway on them, another incident is called in, this time the murder of a police officer, who was also Bree’s mentor. One after the other the incidents occur leaving Alex and his team working against time to find the killer.
Alex was a courageous hero. His instincts were spot-on, he was an amazing detective and still managed to take out time for his family. His interactions with Nana Mama, Damon and Jannie showed his loving side. Also, Ali was adorable. The authority and calmness that he exuded even in the toughest situations was very appealing. Sampson was an excellent partner and he perfectly complimented Alex.
Cross the Line by James Patterson will leave you slack-jawed in the action sequences and reading from the villain’s perspective and his thoughts will give you goosebumps. It will leave your imagination running wild, and thinking of every possible person who could be the villain every time an incident happens. I stumbled upon this book when I was looking for a good mystery to read but after this, I can’t wait to go back to the first book to see where these characters originated from and how they became what they are today. I would definitely recommend this book to all the mystery lovers out there.
