The Big Bad Wolf (Alex Cross Novels)

Summary: Just Okay-It didn't excite me much!
Review: The Big Bad Wolf was a little disappointing to me. I felt like it needed to be more thrilling, and it just didn't quite make it.

There's a diabolical killer on the loose. And linked to him is a "Couple," that buys and sells men and women for ransom. The first character abducted in the story is Liz Connolly, an wealthy woman who is held hostage by the Wolf. Others are picked up and held, some of them killed, while others survive.

Alex Cross is trying to get the killer to communicate with him so he and his FBI pals can nail him good. But within the book, this is disappointing, as they never seem to get the right person doing the killing-very strange.

Alex is having problems on the homefront along with all else. His ex-girlfriend, Christine, who is little Alex's mom wants custody of him all of a sudden without warning. And she is hiring a lawyer to do the dirty work.

The book was good enough to see what was going to happen next, but not Patterson's best.
