The Alex Cross Series - James Patterson

One Sentence Summary:
Alex Cross is a police detective, his life sucks.
review:
I no longer feel the enthusiasm I once did for this series, it has gotten repetitive and the story line has gotten a bit convoluted. That said I do feel an attachment to the characters and thus will continue to read the series. The first 8 books are all rather original and enjoyable, fun reads full of intrigue. Cross' family dynamic adds a layer to this mystery series that sets it apart from the rest of the genre. The writing is solid, though a bit repetitive, the character development is solid and the plots are quick and to the point. I recommend it as beach reading for anyone who doesn't like smut.
6/10 (the first 8 books get an 8/10)
