Alex Cross and his family join men and women from across the nation lining the streets of Washington, DC to mourn the unexpected death of the president.Parece que James patterson tiene un cierto desenvolvimiento natural en el género policiaco y el suspense; el único problema es que para desarrollar un libro de poco más de 300 páginas lo lleva a una excesiva cantidad de capítulos en los que podría alargarlos un poco y no hacerlos tan numerosos. he visto libros que tienen 450 páginas y apenas fueron 30 capítulos, y la historia por tanto es un poco más fluida, ya que aquí cambia constantemente de narración y salta de un personaje al otro. Aún así, el hecho de que haga eso permite que se entienda bajo de qué personaje se cuenta ahora la historia, y eso permite que no te pierdas. Eso sí, se lee de una sentada debido a lo sencillo que se mueve la trama.

But when Patterson jumps to 2006, Alex has a third child, a three or four year old boy named Ali and never once does he say how this child came to join the Cross family. I'm assuming he was adopted, and I bet that story is in one of the previous Cross books. But I don't know and I wanted to know. I’m sure Bunting knows what to expect too, they’ve met twelve times previously and he’s won three of them, they’ve drawn one, but it is Cross who’s won the majority with eight including their last two clashes and their sole meeting this year. Across these twelve matches they’ve played three times on TV, Cross winning twice and that draw in the Premier League. One of these victories for Cross was over a match of this length in the Quarter-Final of the 2019 World Matchplay. The score line on that day was 16-14. A good omen for him perhaps as he went on to lift that title too. Unfortunately, for me, this was just more of the same. Completely out of control psychopath, this one was a bit different inasmuch as he is also a serial rapist. Once again, the author produces a very readable book. It is fast moving and the plot develops at a real pace. I thoroughly enjoyed this and recommend it to all.'
