A page turner but ultimately not that thrilling. Am I totally desensitized to violence or was this not very scary? 

I’d read more Patterson though on a lazy day.

I liked this book a lot. Alex Cross was not only a psych/detective but also a lover boy. I didn't expect that, to be honest. I knew about Jezzie's 40% in, and I was right. Seoniji/Murphy was a psychopath that was for sure, but he had a rough childhood, and it made me sad even if he did a lot of problematic things like kidnapping, murder, stalking, etc. Kids didn't deserve shitty parents! It also made me sad that Michael died because he was a victim. This was fast-paced and compelling. Damn, the villains faced lethal injection. Overall, a great start to a series. Thank you, James, ✨

I enjoyed this book but near the end kinda rushed to finish it and see what happened. I felt like the reveals of different plot points were not as exciting as they could have been.
