Summary:
Alex Cross, I’m coming for you–even from the grave if I have to.
Along Came a Spider
killer Gary Soneji has been dead for over ten years. Alex Cross watched
him die. But today, Cross saw him gun down his partner. Is Soneji
alive? A ghost? Or something even more sinister?
Nothing will prepare you for the wicked truth.
***Short & Sweet Reviews are
short, quick reviews. These will mainly be used for series books where I
have already done full reviews on some of the earlier books or for
books that I feel will suffice with a quick review. These will not be
used for review requests or blog tours.
My thoughts: I love these little Bookshot novellas – they are quick and pack quite the punch. This one was non-stop action, keeping you engaged and flipping the pages at lightning speed. It has non of the fluff or nonsense that the full-length novels have but gets straight to the heart of action and stays on point the entire time.
Gary Soneji, who was first introduced in Along Came a Spider and he then appeared again in Cat & Mouse, was one of my favorite villains and I loved that James Patterson brought him back. He supposedly died in front of Alex years ago…but did he really?
This one took an emotional path I was not expecting and I am quite eager to how this will play out in future books. I was not, however, happy with the cliffhanger…that was not cool. But the only good thing is that because I am so far behind in the series, I don’t have to wait too long to find out what comes next…just have to wait until I find the time to read the next book.
