Search - Roses Are Red (Alex Cross, Bk 6)

This was a really good book. I always enjoy James Patterson's books, especially due to the short chapters that seem to keep the story moving along faster. I think anyone who likes thrillers would definetly like this story.

Wow! This book kept you guessing! Couldn't put it down as is the case with most James Patterson books!!!

Patterson is a favorite of mine and my favorite character is the likeable Alex Cross - this is an Alex Cross book, with murder, mystery, Alex's family life and psychological unraveling.

one of patterson's best!

I would recommend fans of the Alex Cross series not miss this book. It was a little bit of let-down after the previous 5 (I'm just reading them all now). That is, it was a let-down right up until the final chapters. The story had all the unexpected twists and turns, in fact, MORE twists and turns that perhaps any of the other books.

I'm a huge fan of the Alex Cross series anyway, but this book really keeps the reader guessing. Great book.

Another really good Alex Cross novel. James Patterson knows how to develop a story and draw you in. In this book, Alex Cross is trying to find the people responsible for the killing of bank employees and their families. Why is it happening when the instructions of the killer are carried out to the letter? What's the motive...?? The Mastermind is behind them all and he needs to be in control. You won't want to put this one down!!

The whole Alex Cross series is great! They're always fast paced & keep me turning pages!

This was an okay book, but it was definately my least favorite of all the Alex Cross novels I have read. Hopefully, Violets are Blue will be better!

A wonderful Alex Cross.

Detective Alex Cross pursues the most brillian killer he's ever confronted, who calls himself the Mastermind...
Very gripping book, I read it in 2 days! I just could not put it down! A MUST READ for any James Patterson fan!

Alex Cross, Patterson's detective hero, is back in a thriller that is guaranteed to hold his many fans spellbound. This time around, Cross' nemesis is the Mastermind, a cunning bank robber who recruits teams of criminals to do his dirty work while he orchestrates the crimes from the shadows. What makes the Mastermind especially frightening is that he takes the bank executives' families hostage in order to ensure compliance, and he kills in cold blood, seemingly at random. Cross is called in on the case, but he may have more than he can handle on his plate. His girlfriend has left him, his beloved daughter is in the hospital, and an old enemy has popped up. But Cross throws himself into the Mastermind case, aided by an attractive FBI agent named Betsey Cavalierre. Despite their resourcefulness, the Mastermind always seems to be a few steps ahead of them, even when the case seems to be coming together. Patterson keeps the pages turning all the way up to the jaw-dropping conclusion, which is sure to have readers eagerly awaiting the next Cross novel. Roses Are Red is far superior to Patterson's most recent novels and should impress readers who enjoyed his earlier Cross books, such as Along Came a Spider (1993) and Kiss the Girls (1995). This one is not to be missed.

Interesting - fast read- keeps you thinking!

great fast read!
