Detective Alex Cross arrests renowned plastic surgeon Elijah Creem for sleeping with teenage girls. Now, his life ruined, Creem is out of jail, and he's made sure that no one will recognize him--by giving himself a new face. A young woman is found hanging from a sixth-floor window, and Alex is called to the scene. The victim recently gave birth, but the baby is nowhere to be found. Before Alex can begin searching for the missing newborn and killer, he's called to investigate a second crime. All of Washington, D.C., is in a panic, and when a third body is discovered, rumours of three serial killers send the city into an all-out frenzy. Alex's investigations are going nowhere, and he's too focused on the cases to notice that someone has been watching him--and will stop at nothing until he's dead.

First of, I got this book through a Goodreads giveaway.
I've never heard about the “Alex Cross” series or even James Patterson before. (Then again I just started reading seriously this year, so pardon me.)
I just jumped right in with no expectations at all. And boy was it a fun ride.
This book has everything I could wished for in the crime/detective genre. A full packed story with more than one murder, gruesome deaths, pretty girls and and and.
I got attached to the characters pretty fast and the pages turned themselves.
The really short chapters were nice too. It felt like I would watch a tv show and every chapter is a scene.
This sure wasn't the last book I read about “Alex Cross” or from Patterson.
Another great story in the Alex Cross series - although I was sad to see what happened to Ava at the end. But then they had no real DNA evidence, just the necklace. Could have been anybody?!
I was going to read something else next but think I'll read the next book in the Alex Cross series instead - just in case something new comes to light!
