Alex Cross: Hope to Die

Author: James Patterson

This Alex Cross story is a nail biter. It speaks to anyone who has ever lost someone to a traumatizing situation. Kidnapping and torture and possible senseless death. Alex is faced with having to find his family while being tortured with the idea of his family being murdered. Within a short period of time a madman has kidnapped and "executed" some of his family. What is Alex to do?

I have to say 'Hope to Die' is a bit of a tear jerker. From the start you are engulfed in a world of grief, despair and anger. Since Reading the first book in the Alex Cross series, I have grown attached to the character. Feeling what they feel through all the pain and also their joy. James Patterson displayed some tumultuous and unsettling situations that only a veteran Like Alex could navigate through.

I would rate Hope to Die as a "Need to Read".
