Kiss the Girls

Average rating3.8
One of my personal favourite Patterson books with the dual killers from both sides, Alex Cross cousin captured and held by perps who are playing out a game of make believe and competition with all the lives of all these ‘girls' they want to kiss..
I don't often read crime fiction, however, I always make an exception for Alex Cross.
I thought this was a better outing than the debut of Alex Cross, but the reveal of Casanova felt a little out-of-left-field. Also, I feel like Patterson forces twists into the plot just for the sake of forcing twists into the plot. It gets to the point where it just gets a little too far-fetched.
Also, I feel like Alex Cross is too perfect a person to exist. Dude needs a bit more humility and not that faux-humility that Patterson tries to imbue to him.
I read Along Came a Spider and Kiss the Girls right on top of each other. They are fast food reading and I enjoyed myself enough. I checked out a bunch of other Patterson books after finishing those and discovered that the Alex Cross stories are really repetitious and quit after a few others read.
If you are down to read some schlock, this is fun enough. I wouldn't go much further than this one in the series.
