Product Description
Review
'Brilliantly terrifying! so exciting that I had to stay up all night to finish it! packed with white-knuckle twists.' Daily Mail 'An incredibly suspenseful read with a one-of-a-kind villain who is as terrifying as he is intriguing. One of the best thrillers of the year.' CLIVE CUSSLER 'Terror and suspense that grab the reader and won't let go. Just try running away from this one.' ED MCBAIN
Product Description
The spectacular international bestseller that introduced Washington-based homicide detective Alex Cross and launched James Patterson's career as one of the fastest-selling thriller writers in the world -- now reissued in striking new cover style. He had always wanted to be famous. When he kidnapped two well-known rich kids, it was headline news. Then one of them was found -- dead -- and the whole nation was in uproar. For such a high-profile case, they needed the top people -- Alex Cross, a black detective with a PhD in psychology, and Jezzie Flanagan, an ambitious young Secret Service agent -- yet even they were no match for the killer. He had the unnerving ability to switch from blood-crazed madness to clear-eyed sanity in an instant. But was he the helpless victim of a multiple-personality disorder -- or a brilliant, cold-blooded manipulator?

A book that made me look forward to the journey to work,

This review is from: Along Came a Spider (Paperback)
James Patterson is an amazing author.
Warning: if you read one of his books, prepare to spend more money on more of his books. Along Came A Spider is a very high paced thriller with many twists and turns. I read this book mostly during my journeys to work and the journeys never seemed long enough. I would highly recommend this book and author to anyone.

This review is from: Along Came a Spider (Paperback)
I have read some of James Patterson's historical work before and enjoyed that but this was the first of his crime thrillers that I was to experience. Being the first of the Alex Cross series it was an appropropriate place to start. I enjoyed the book which I found easy going throughout although there was never a moment for me where the tension was such that I felt inclined to rapidly turn pages.I felt that a lot more could have been done with the prime bad guy to thicken and excite the plot.. The end of the story was a little predictable and dissapointing. But overall, enjoyable and I will continue to read more of the series.

Introducing Alex Cross.,
By
This review is from: Along Came a Spider (Paperback)
I've read lots of James Patterson's books but never any of the Alex Cross series. What better way to start than at the beginning?Along Came A Spider is a pretty grim book. Kidnapped children is the theme and it's disturbing subject matter. It's violent, brutal and uncompromising. Alex Cross himself is a likeable cop, with a penchant for flouting authority. Grittier than more recent Patterson books, Along Came A Spider is an excellent introduction to Alex Cross and it's interesting to see how Mr Patterson's writing started.
