Yet another fantastic Alex Cross novel! Patterson does it again! I've loved the whole series and this did not disappoint!

Another well written, exciting adventure for Alex Cross this time set in Washington DC, but bringing things into the modern age with cyber hacking.

This is a pleasant enough read for die hard fans of the Alex Cross series and would also work as a stand alone novel.

I love the Alex Cross series but this one didn’t quite capture me.
Well written, solid plot and great characters as per usual for Patterson but too political for me unfortunately.
Would still read to keep up to date with the series!

Playing catch up with this series. I have just discovered i've gone out of sequence with the reading order. It won't matter my love for this series will help me recover.

A series I've followed for years, a series I have always enjoyed. A series that any crime thriller fan would certainly enjoy.
Alex Cross, he's certainly the kind of guy you want on your team if you are ever in trouble. He certainly goes through some mean shizz

It really is hard to believe that this is Alex Cross book 26.

What starts with a nation in mourning turns into a nation at war.
A superb thrilling ride through this book. I still enjoy this series now as much as i did when it first started out.

This was a brilliant read. As soon as I started reading this book I just knew I was going to love it. Highly recommended

With thanks to Netgalley,the publisher and the author James Patterson

Target Alex Cross is another brilliant, fast paced book by the well known James Patterson. A great book.

Not my favourite Cross book. It didn't grip me as much as usual. Even the family element was not as interesting as usual. Hoping the next one is better.

Even though I did end up buying myself a physical copy of this book, I would still like to thank Netgalley and the publishers for providing me with a copy of this book to read and review.

I've seen some reviews saying that this is the best Alex Cross book so far? I'm sorry, but no.
The premise of the story was great. Multiple assassinations of powerful political figures?? It's a big story... but the details honestly just bored me to death.
There were just too many things going on at once, and I couldn't keep track of which assassin was who. I was lost for 85% of the book.
Not enough Nana Cross in this one I think!!
Honestly that last chapter of the story was the only bit that excited me. So as much as this book failed to grab my attention, I can't wait to read the next.

This was my first Alex across book and it’s safe to safe I’ll be picking up another. I enjoyed the suspense, pace and characters. It was easy to pick up the character stories even though I started reading a later book in the Alex Cross series. Great escapist reading.

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House for an advance copy to review.

There have been many books in this great series featuring Alex Cross by the Author and whilst it can be read as a standalone to fully understand Alex reading previous books would be of benefit .

The President has died , resurrecting memories for Alex of his first wife - Senator Elizabeth Walker is shot dead by a sniper .
The FBI call in Alex to assist in their investigation , whilst Alex's wife ,Chief of Detectives for Metro PD Bree Stone launches her own .
The plot is fast paced full of twists and turns at every point , tension stretching the imagination along the way - who is behind the conspiracy ?
The Author is a master storyteller , able to draw the reader in , investing you in the characters outcomes ........ all to reveal a masterly conclusion .

An entertaining read which I thoroughly enjoyed and cannot wait for more of the same in the future .

Patterson never disappoints when it comes to his main man Alex Cross. Full of suspense and punchy chapters that make this another ‘seat of your pants’ read.

This was as usual a dependable Alex cross novel. Easy to read gripping and exciting. James Patterson has a formula that works

Absolutely loved this book read it in less than 3 hours another cracking offering from one of the best crime writers of the time!

Now I'm not sure how many of the previous Alex Cross books that I have read but I've not read the full series but that didn't matter when reading this aa there was not lots of things constantly referred to that had happened previously as some other series make the mistake of doing. Good storyline and a fast paced read, it kept me wanting to read more and now I feel that I need to go back and meet Alex from the beginning

Another Alex Cross book!! I can't miss out on these books. I love everything about them. The books are in good James Patterson style: fast-paced, humorous, and easy reads

Ok so Alex Cross is one of my guilty pleasures. I love these books as a pure form of escapism. But this was predictable in so many ways. Maybe time to retire Alex off. Not one of the best.

Having read some of Patterson’s YA novels, I was always wanting to give the Alex Cross series a try. Especially after seeing the films.
However, when a series is 24 books in, it feels like a daunting investment and commitment. So when this came up, I figured this was the perfect time to give the series a go.
It’s a well written crime thriller full of red herrings, plenty of characters and a surprising amount of development for such an age old series.
It certainly has ensured I’m going back to the beginning.

Actually read most of this series so was chuffed to bits to be able to read this and review.

I didn't think they could get any better but I was so wrong. so wrong. I was right there through all the twists and turns and couldn't have asked for a better or more suitable ending

Wow, can you believe it. This is already the 24th book in the series featuring Alex Cross! I feel that Alex is a close friend by now!
The reader is kept glued to the book from page one, assassinations are flying around and once again Alex and his work-wife Bree get to save the day!
Well done, and recommended!

Thanks NetGalley for giving me the chance to read this book. I very much enjoyed this fast paced thriller. I’ve read quite a few James Pattersons, although none from this series before. He is a favourite author of mine and enjoy the style.

I was a little confused at the characters at the start but realised this is actually the twenty sixth book in the series, so I have a lot to catch up on, but will start them from the beginning next time and look forward to working my way through them.
