From Publishers Weekly

Forensic psychologist Alex Cross's storied career in private practice, with the FBI and as a Washington, D.C., cop has brought him into contact with all kinds of seriously disturbed killers, but his 12th outing from bestseller Patterson (after 2005's Mary, Mary) may be the ultimate in lunatic deadliness. Beginning with a flashback to the murder of Cross's wife, Maria, Patterson quickly introduces Michael Sullivan (aka the Butcher of Sligo). What follows is a frenetically paced series of brutal rapes and killings by Sullivan, once employed by the mob as a freelancer and now at war with them. Cross juggles being a single parent and being involved in the dangerous game of tracking serial killers until he finally decides to give it up for his family. Needless to say, he's drawn back into the game when it promises a chance of finding Maria's killer. Cross's competence and vulnerability make a stark contrast with Sullivan's sadistic mutilations and psychological manipulations of his victims. Fans know that Cross will survive, but at what cost?

From AudioFile

Dual narration heightens the conflict between Alex Cross, former FBI agent, and Michael Sullivan, "the Butcher of Sligo." Peter Jay Fernandez, the voice of Cross in almost all of Patterson's audios, shows understanding of Alex's humor and foibles, as well as his vulnerability in revisiting the painful death of his first wife and his inability to leave behind his life as a criminal tracker. Jay O. Sanders's cold, ruthless tones portray Sullivan's psychopathic zeal for threatening, killing, and torturing. He also conveys the villains' tensions as he battles childhood demons, urges to hunt new prey, and Mob figures who threaten his family. The appeal of this book comes from the fascinating parallels between these two characters.

This review is from: Cross (Hardcover)
I like rading Patterson's novels and this one was just as all the other ones I have read: nice flow of action, keeping the reader interested until the end. I usually read these books over the weekend (if nothing better comes along). The interesting thing is that a week later I do not remember anything from it. Nothing wrong with that -- Patterson's novels are enterataining and that is all that counts.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Very good!, Déc 23 2006
This review is from: Cross (Hardcover)
Yet another great thriller by Patterson. I am a big fan of his and have started to contemplate never reading his novels again because the last few have been very disappointing, however this was a worthy read. Full of Patterson-esque twists that will leave you turning the pages until the very end. Worth the time. I recommend it along with Michael Crichton's Next, David DeMello's Dead Scare, and if you are a big Hannibal Lecter fan then Harris' Hannibal Rising.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Predictable, Déc 17 2007
Par Toni Osborne "The Way I See It" (Montreal, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Cross (Mass Market Paperback)
Alex Cross was working for the FBI when an unknown man gunned down his wife Maria, in front of him. The killer was never found and the case turned cold. Years later, after Alex left the FBI he became full-time psychologist some times working as a free agent for the FBI. At one point, his former partner John Sampson calls in a favour....

John is tracking Michael Sullivan one of the worst serial rapist and professional killers ever. Sullivan known as "The Butcher" finds his preys among young college and working women and manages to lull them with a false sense of security. After raping them, his trademark is to show photos of mutilated bodies of those who have talked and a scalpel.

When the case reveals a connection to Maria's death, Alex is drawn back into action with the hope of getting justice and finally catching Maria's killer....

This novel is a super quick read with numerous short chapters. The plot is a series of violent incidents featuring the Butcher. Dr. Cross reactions are easily anticipated and the storyline ended abruptly and in a mundane note, a disappointing climax. I found this book interesting but a bit too predictable.
