The Big Bad Wolf (Alex Cross Book 9)

This Kindle book ends abruptly, without a proper ending. The FBI are transporting the Wolf's double, who has betrayed him, from one jail to the other. The original Wolf mounts a massive attack on the convoy, gets into the van where his double is being held, and fires a rocket launcher directly into his face. Abrupt end of the novel, with the Wolf still at large. I thought that there may have been some chapters missing, but when i looked at the bottom right of my Kindle , I saw the figure 100%. Such a thing has happened once before with another novel, but I cannott remember its name now. My contact numbers are the following:. rumski30@gmail.com. and, +91 9323178165.

The book looked very old and used even if it was said in the product page as new.

Novel is awesome obviously bt the paperback is vvv old 😞

There are many reviews here that detail the storyline. I’d avoid reading them if you’re new to ‘Cross’ novels.Bottom line to me is that this is slightly different to the other novels. It reads like a cross between a Bond book and a Paul Finch at his high drama best.In short suspend your disbelief…accept that there’s a baddie holding the Western world to ransom…the ransom is remarkably small (that is striking) the baddie seems to work mostly alone and off you go. The book rushes along until you get to the end and then it gets very odd.I’m not sure whether Patterson couldn’t come up with a huge finale in scale with the rest of the story but …’There is our baddie, all on his own’ bang, bang and now he’s dead rings …what ? Really ? well, it rings a dud note after all the other big set pieces. It’s a yarn…but a quick and okay read.

Another excellent read about Alex Cross! This is also very gripping but gut wrenching at the same time.The characters are, as always, larger than life with some interesting new additions to the list and the return of old ones too. The storyline is a very dark one but well worth sticking with.All in all it is definitely a book to read and I'm really looking forward to the next one.

Under going his orientation to the FBI Alex Cross becomes involved when a woman is kidnapped in broad daylight. Soon he is caught up in a case that involves the Russian mafia and no one knows the real identity of the man in charge: The Wolf.This is the first Alex Cross book I've read, and it won't be the last.I was unable to put it down I was so engrossed in it. Full of unexpected twists and turns right up to the end this is a fantastic read.Highly recommended.

This is the 9th book in James Patterson's Alex Cross series, and while it could be read as a standalone there's been a lot you've missed out on if you haven't read from the beginning so maybe start with  Along Came a Spider .So in this book we catch up with Alex Cross as he begins working for the FBI having recently left his job with the Washington PD. Cross is finding it a bit of a struggle, being a little fish in a big pond is not something he's used to and compared to the other new agents he's got a lot of experience. Soon enough though his reputation is getting him a lot of preferential treatment from the higher up's and he's skipping class to work on his first case. A lot of wealthy middle aged white women are being kidnapped at random for no apparent reason and it's up to Cross to find out why and who's behind it all. This is where The Wolf comes in, a pretty mean Russian Mobster who's set up an online group offering to kidnap anyone for his rich clientele for the right price.While this is going on we also get caught up to date with Alex's home life. The mother of his youngest son; Christine Johnson is back in Washington and wants custody of little Alex. Cross however is finding it hard to play FBI agent and spend quality time with his family.This is a pretty enjoyable book. If you've read Patterson before you'll know what to expect. Not great writing but writing that will keep you hooked. The short chapters and punchy action scenes will keep you turning the pages and it's a lot of good fun. A 4* outing for Cross. Along Came a Spider

Great book as ever, easy to read and a real page turner. Anyone wanting a write who is easy to read to keep their interest should try reading these books as I'd be surprised to hear them say they're boring. Yes, I understand the intellectuals who will say that they're disappointed at certain things about the stories and various other points but Alex Cross is the heroine of the books so of course, he will prevail in the end but you need to just submerse yourself and enjoy the stories for what they are ie. a little escapism and nice and easy relaxed reading although pretty violent at times.
