I just loved all 15 of Patterson's The Womens Murder Club, so thought I would love them all. Started collecting them and reading but soon found out they were much to much horrid details regarding the murders and mutilation of bodies....They were compelling but I didn't like the feelings I was left with when I put the book down. Sorry and I am sure there is a tremendous audience out there for him, I just can't handle it.

BACK OF BOX SAYS: ALONG CAME A SPIDER BEGINS WITH A DOUBLE kidnapping: the daughter of a famous hollywood actress and the young son of the u.s. secretary of the treasury. gary soneji is a muderous serial kidnapper who wants to commit the crime of the century: alex cross the brilliant homicide detective is pitted against him: jessie flanagan,the feamle supervisor of the secret service: all of them thown in together in one of the most unusualy supense trials ever. this was a very different book for me to read. i usually stick to paranormals and romance. i think this might be the first book i have ever read where it was told from the man's point of view. the woman's club is written by james also but the main character is a woman. while in these alex cross book's it's a man. i was surprised that the book is so old 1992, you also have to respect his mothers point of view- i know there has to be some english teacher out there who could anaylize this book and his mother's character as she predicts a few things that you don't see coming. it's probably right up there with to kill a mockingbird in it's literary values. i highly recommend the audio book on this. michael kramer sounds like sam spade detective it's most excellent.Read full review
I love this book! I recently began reading the Alex Cross series by James Patterson and have quickly become addicted! This is the first in a series of what has now become a fourteen book set. It really sets the tone for who Alex Cross and his family are and the fast-paced, suspenseful action that are a part of every book in this series so far! Don't plan on reading just a chapter or two at a time because once you start you won't be able put it down! The characters are very real, the emotions raw and the story moves at lightning pace. Gary Sonjei will chill you to the core! To sum it up: DO NOT miss this one!
This is just another excellent spell binder by the magical writings of James Patterson. Since my daughter turned me on to him with First to die I just can't get enough of his books to read. I finished the entire Alex Cross series in just about a week. And the Woman's Murder Club in less time than that. So now I am trying to get my hands on everything else he has written that I haven't read. So if you want to get hooked like I did, start with "Along Came a Spider" but be sure that you have "Kiss the Girls" near by to pick up and start reading as soon as you can because you won't want to miss a single moment in the life of Dr. Detective Alex Cross.
