The House of Cross by James PattersonMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
[3 1/2 stars] Christmas is approaching in the Cross household and everyone is gathered together. However, Alex is working with Ned Mahoney at the FBI to determine why potential Supreme Court justices are being killed. In the meantime, Bree and Sampson continue to work together to uncover the evil Maestro organization. In true Patterson fashion, their two cases are intertwined and they end up kidnapped in an underground bunker in very cold and snowy British Columbia.
This book is so much better than his last Alex Cross -- Alex Cross Must Die #32. I re-read my review and am surprised that I even attempted to read this one, but I'm glad I did. It's much better, more streamlined (only two separate story lines) and a more focused narrative. Of course it's quite a page turner and a quick yet satisfying read. It's interesting that much of the last third of the book deals with them in a huge Canadian snowstorm with freezing temperatures. I happened to read it in the sweltering summer with 90 degree temperatures and 100+ heat indices! A refreshing read.
