It’s been awhile since I read one of them, but they never seem to disappoint. This wasn’t my favorite of them, but it was still enjoyable. A group of men who call themselves “three blind mice” are killing off military men, women and others, then painting their bodies in red, white and blue. Alex Cross knows there’s some connection between the men and an incident during the Vietnam war, but finding it out is harder than he imagined when the military refuse to help. On another hand, Alex is looking forward to this being his last case and continuing on with a safer life for himself and his growing family. But a new love may cause more pain when the long distance between them starts to become a problem. It was a quick read and I’m looking forward to the next one very soon. blondierocket | Aug 3, 2009 | His best friend is accused of murder and Alex Cross is his only hope. This was an OK read, but I still don't get why these books sell so well. (  ) riverwillow | Jun 9, 2009 | 8th in the Dr. Cross Series. A Dr. Cross novel. This book is about military assassins who are hired to frame military people for murders that they commit. A general from west Point is the 4th mouse. Everything stems from Vietnam and atrocities that the general was involved with. (  ) amacmillen | Apr 3, 2009 | Dr. Alex Cross is a psychologist and a Washington D.C. detective. His partner is childhood friend John Sampson. This intricate, fast-moving, and mostly believable story starts out with the duo trying to clear Sampson's Army buddy, Sergent Ellis Cooper, of murder, a crime he swears he did not commit. Along the way they discover, then tangle with, a trio of hit men, the Three Blind Mice, who had framed Cooper, and others, for murders they had done. But why _Four_ Blind Mice? James Patterson is a terrific story teller, and a master of dialogue and plot development. This book is definitely worth reading. (  ) RGaryRasmussen | Mar 21, 2009 |  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com (ISBN 0446613266, Mass Market Paperback)In this latest thriller from perennial bestselling author James Patterson, Washington cop Alex Cross gets involved in his partner's effort to save the life of an old Army buddy who's facing execution for a horrendous and inexplicable murder spree in North Carolina. The Army's evidence against Sergeant Ellis Cooper, a decorated Vietnam vet, is overwhelming, which isn't surprising since it's all been planted by a quartet of killers whose reason for framing the erstwhile hero isn't revealed until long after they are. The big secret is who set the murderers loose, and in true cliffhanger fashion, Patterson keeps it under wraps until the very end. Meanwhile, his usual blend of action, violence, fast pacing and uninspired-though-serviceable prose prevail, and will probably do so all the way to the top of the bestseller lists. --Jane Adams(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:08 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
