I, Alex Cross

James Patterson’s newest, I, Alex Cross, is his usual fare.  That’s not to say it isn’t good, but nothing out of the ordinary for him.  Alex is investigating the murder of his estranged niece Caroline while dealing with Nana’s health problems which have landed her in the hospital with an unsure diagnosis. 

Finding out what happened to Caroline, who died in a particularly gruesome manner, drags him into a deeper investigation involving some of the heavy hitters of Washington, D.C.  Cross’ relationship with Bree is going strong, while Jannie and Ali are as sweet and innocent as usual with son Damon, off at school.  I won’t give away the ending, but it does offer promise for some new storylines in the personal life arena.

Fans of Alex Cross with devour this one in one sitting, while those new to the series will probably not develop a deep connection.

Book Orders

I must say, one of the best thing about being a librarian is getting or order books that I want to read.  I just did a book order for next month and I’m pretty excited.  There are a ton of things I’m going to snap up when they come in the door.  Some being:

• Pirate Latitudes by Michael Crichton
• Under the Dome by Stephen King
• Breathless by Dean Koontz
• I, Alex Cross by James Patterson
• Ford County by John Grisham

so, now you know what my review list for November looks like!

My second favorite thing about working at the library…Getting the new books first!
