BOOK REVIEW

blog size

While driving to Delaware and Maryland, I listened to an audio book my girlfriend gave me last year, Merry Christmas Alex Cross, by James Patterson.  I like the reoccurring character of Alex Cross.  Detective Cross is pulled away from his family on Christmas Eve to assist with a hostage situation.  A well known attorney, who has fallen on bad times, takes his family hostage.  Then another major case pulls him in on Christmas Day.  I liked the pace of the book and it kept my attention while enjoying the traffic around Annapolis and Baltimore.

 

Thanks for visiting.  Until next week……
