This book is the 15th book in the Alex Cross series. It is a good book but not his best. Patterson is known for his short chapters that keep you wanting to read on and this one is no exception. If you haven’t read the other books in this series I would go back and read them in order as the emotional moments only matter to those who have some background with the characters.

I, Alex Cross starts out good but slowly starts to fade at the end of the novel. The story revolves around a high end prostitution group and prostitutes are being killed. The killer in this novel is known as Zeus and is interesting enough until you find out who he is at the end. It is as if Patterson is trying to top his killers and make them more important or more high profile. This time around the White House is involved and I could have cared less in those sections of the book

The book does end with a little glimpse into the possible future of the series. Patterson needs to get back to making more interesting killers like the Wolf or Kyle Craig.

Oh yeah, Nana Mama is sick in this one again. I swear she seems to be sick and almost dying in the last few books.

Even though I still enjoyed this book I am starting to lose my faith in James Patterson being able to deliver in his books. He has been writing so many books per year that they are losing out in quality. Usually the Alex Cross books keep me interested but even these books are starting to lose their luster. I think he needs to come to some finality to this series. It is as if he is afraid to kill off main characters or bring some finality to the Kyle Craig story.
