Patterson novels of Alex Cross for 20 years have always been good but “Cross My Heart” is one of the best of the series because it is nail biting suspense with a surprise twist of an ending. Cross works other cases until he finds out he is up against a deranged killer who attacks Alex’s entire family. This time it’s personal and Cross has never been as depressed as he is in this one. As the novel unfolds it shows how far a sick person will take their revenge. “Cross My Heart” is one of the best books of the series because it will leave readers wanting more asking, “How soon to the next one?”
