Fear No Evil (Alex Cross, 29)

Product Information

Fear No Evil, the 29th Alex Cross novel, had me excited from the moment I received the e-ARC courtesy of the author and the publishers via the lovely NetGalley! There is surprise twist in the final pages that seems to answer our ongoing question: Who is the elusive M ? Alex Cross enters the final showdown with the relentless killer who has stalked him and his family for years. No one gets this big without amazing natural storytelling talent - which is what Jim has, in spades. As more top law enforcement personnel were murdered, always with their ‘confession’ along side them, Alex and John realized it smacked of ‘M’, the psychotic predator who’d followed them, taunting them, for years.

They have had their fair share of fiendish antagonists over the years but the most puzzling surely has to be M or Maestro whose interventions have sometimes been helpful and sometimes deadly. I adore the Patterson books but haven't read one for quite some time so I was excited to see Alex Cross and John Sampson again! C. He started as a homicide detective but eventually becomes a senior agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Tying it back to the hit team Alex was investigating was way too much of a coincidence and required a HUGE amount of suspension of belief from the reader.I really enjoyed the mystery in this one, and loved the moment at the end when we find out who really was behind it all. She's headed to Paris to gather evidence against a hedge fund manager who is raping women and embezzling funds. Once they were on board, Cross received a threatening text from M that showed him how he knows the location of each member of his family.

Now, the 29th book in the series – “Fear No Evil” – has been read, and it is my first review of 2022.James Patterson’s Alex Cross series has endured for almost three decades, bringing to readers worldwide the unadulterated storytelling prowess of one of the most prolific and biggest selling authors in the world today. They end up in the wilds of Montana and it’s clear both groups want them dead, as they hunt them down. Cross and his best buddy, John Sampson, find themselves directly in the crosshairs (no pun intended). Lots of characters and I sometimes had to re-read to figure out where everyone belonged but of course Patterson is worth it. In Fear No Evil, Alex and Sampson have been dealing with a psychotic, criminal mastermind known as "M" or "Maestro".
