Publisher's Summary
Detective Alex Cross is ripped away from his family on Christmas Eve - and that's nothing compared to what awaits him on Christmas Day. It's a snowy Christmas Eve, and
Detective Alex Cross is at home celebrating with his family. Nana Mama's famous pecan pie is in the oven and the kids are hanging their favourite ornaments on the tree. Just as Alex's wife, Bree, emerges from the kitchen with a bowl of homemade eggnog, his phone rings with news that shatters the night: At a nearby home, a family has been taken hostage - and the situation is spiralling out of control fast.
Alex rushes to the scene and confronts the unthinkable: A father is threatening to murder his own children and his ex-wife. Then just as the insanity peaks, a second horrific situation explodes - one that no one could have foreseen and that puts millions of people at risk. This is a red alert of the darkest kind, and Alex is forced to make a decision that could end as many lives as it saves - including his own.
Merry Christmas, Alex Cross is James Patterson's most shocking Alex Cross novel yet: a breakneck-paced and heart-pounding adrenaline rush of a thriller.

"patchy"
This doesn't seem to flow as well as some of the others. The story seems to reach a premature ending, and i thought i'd missed a chunk of the novel. Almost as if the author hadn't known exactly where this book was going and joined bits together. Not my favourite!

"Not sure I'm interested enough to finish"
Perfect cop with perfect family fighting essentially good but very messed up people and terrorists blinded by hatred. I guess it's just too polarized: all sweet and cosy home versus horrible, dangerous, wicked outside world. I'm not saying all cops should be like Harry Hole but this one sometimes gets a bit unrealistic.
Then wife walks into a hostage situation to persuade cop hubby to come home because it's Christmas? Gees! That was painful!0 of 0 people found this review helpful
