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 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.
