The House of Cross, by James Patterson, is the latest installment in the Alex Cross series. Some one is killing potential candidates for Supreme Court vacancies. With a new administration coming into the White House, filling multiple seats on the highest court in the land could change the face of America for decades to come. Alex, John, and Bree must find those responsible before any more damage can be done.

This action packed thriller is sure to keep you turning the page. With short chapters, it is easy to jump in and out as needed making it a quick read. I always like series books the revisit familiar characters but at the same time introducing new ones and this one fills the bill. Although I have read many of the Cross books, I have missed the last several but I still able to jump right back in to the flow of this new one. It probably helps if you have read some of the Cross books before but The House of Cross can definitely serve as a stand alone read.

Someone is killing Supreme Court Judges and other brilliant legal minded people as well. All this right before the inauguration of the new President!

Alex is called up to the FBI and investigates from that angle while John and Bree tackle the mysterious M or Maestro. Are they connected?

These people are ruthless and have a very long reach into every government organization! And all the secrets that go with that.

When John and Bree go missing in Canada, Alex goes on a wild search for them. And M wants them all to die. There may no longer be a House of Cross.

Thrilling as usual, this was such a good and twisty read! James Patterson never disappoints and always leaves us wanting more!

This book is #33 in the Alex Cross series. Here Alex, Bree, and Sampson are all missing as they investigate the apparent death of a tech billionaire who Bree believes is actually their long-time nemesis, M. They have been pursuing this man for so many years I have lost track. It may be time to move on to a new bad guy. Thanks to NetGalley and Little, Brown, and Company for providing an ARC.
