Review: Fear No Evil - Book #29 Alex Cross - James Patterson - November 2021
A series I have always loved as I have
read this since the beginning of time is the Alex Cross Series. I noticed when
I read Book #31 that somehow I had missed Books #29 and #30 which I am now
rectifying. Fear No Evil takes us on two separate adventures, we have Bree
Stone who is Alex's wife taking a job with the Bluestone Group - a private firm
and she is headed to Paris to help bring down a billionaire who is also someone
who has been abusing his power as a boss and a male and then back in the US we
have Alex and John who are preparing for their camping trip but that ends up
postponed as someone is killing agents and branding them as traitors of the US.
Alex and John also end up getting messages again from "M" - and also
they discover that someone is pretending to be "M" and making Alex
and John targets as they find themselves somehow stuck in the middle of the
traitors and the taking down of a drug cartel. Like the other Alex Cross
novels, we have an OMG moment as John Sampson ends up in hospital and has to
have surgery. We also see a budding detective forming with Ali Cross who does
have his spin-off series when he manages to solve the case of vandalism and
arson that is happening through South Side Schools. I do have to admit after
reading Book #31 earlier and then this one, the series does seem to be having
more to do with John Sampson than the previous stories. It's still a good balance,
but he seems to finally be getting a stronger storyline presence throughout the
book than in the past. I am now looking forward to reading Book #30 Triple
Cross.
