Description

But the fine line was a difficult one to travel – he let his desperation fuel his adrenalin – to think would mean he would collapse.

Cross is being stalked and mentally tortured by someone who clearly has a psychotic streak; early on, as two mutilated bodies turn up that are presumed to be Cross's wife Bree and his son Damion, Cross is so emotionally devastated that he's barely able to function. Cross's family - his loving wife Bree, the wise and lively Nana Mama, and his precious children--have been ripped away. Hope to Die picks up where Cross My Heart ended (I only got the title tie-in now), with Alex Cross falling apart because his family has been kidnapped. If you’ve been reading and enjoying the Alex Cross series, then Cross My Heart and Hope to Die should appeal as they very much offer more of the same quality and crime thriller suspense.

This book defies the usual Alex Cross style, in a way, in that it is not quick two-pager chapters all the way through. Following the cliffhanger that was met with mixed receptions at the end of Cross My Heart Alex Cross’s life is collapsing around him.

Alex would not be having the emotions and physical response Patterson gives us knowing he is faking a killing. I was giving up on the Cross series because I felt the writing was going downhill as the series progressed and I was not enjoying them as I did the earlier ones.Hope to Die is one of the best Alex Cross novels, with an intimate and equal portrayal of all the main characters. The vendetta that drives the plot stems from a deontological Mulch wants Cross to detour from his ethical schema and devoid himself from any system of value that may render him vulnerable to emotional connections. I am only five feet eleven inches and I have a thirty five inch reach without stepping up on my toes.

In a race against time, he must defeat Mulch, and find his wife and children - no matter what it takes. Twenty years ago, I wrote, ' Along Came a Spider is the best thriller I've come across in many a year. There are a few bits and pieces here that don’t work, with character inclusions that could have been avoided, but on the whole Hope to Die is a strong read. But function he must if he has even the slightest chance of catching the diabolical killer and find his precious Nana Mama and the rest of his children alive.Cross's ingenious pursuit of the killer produces a suspect: a British diplomat named Geoffrey Shafer. You can state your good intentions, you can imagine the life you want, but you can’t negotiate with Him. As his window for solving both crimes narrows, Alex makes a desperate decision that goes against everything he believes-one that may alter the fate of the entire country.
