What are your favorite 5 Alex Cross Novels?

[Craig Mclaughlin]

I think this will make an interesting topic, as well as help inform some of those that have not read all 14...perhaps inspire them to pick them up.



Double Cross: Just a ton of excellent twists surrounding the villians. The fact that Cross was dupped in essense by his patients was great, not to mention Kyle is back in the equation.

London Bridges: What is better than one psycho, well answer is two. The Wolf and Weasel make a terrific tandem, which is made better by the fact that Weasel is scared of Wolf. I do admitt the rubber ball ending was a tad weak, as if it was the wife that would of been amazing, but still alot of quality.


Four Blind Mice: This was first Cross book I ever read and totally hooked me. The first 3 Mice, so to speak, are bastards and it works. The scene where Cross though Sampson was dead was amazing. This is imo the book that could make the best movie, Cat and Mouse being a close second.


Pop Goes The Weasel: I loved Geoffrey as a villian, the "game", mixed with abductions, as well as struggle Cross had to dea l with in investigating made it very solid addition.

Cat & Mouse: What can I say, Gary was around, there was a Kyle Craig like twist, the reason behind the killings, was fabulous. Perhaps my favorite, although among these 5 too close to call.
