When I was almost to end of book it had so far had nothing to do with killing Alex. Poor title choice, in my opinion. And it felt like 3/4's of the way through the story, Patterson decided he'd written enough pages so just hurried up and ended the major mystery in the book. He tied up most of the loose ends before finishing, but it just seemed rushed to me-- yep, poorly written as I've heard lots of reviewers say of Patterson's later attempts.
Detective Alex Cross is one of the first on the scene of the biggest case he's ever been part of. The President's son and daughter have been abducted from their school. Alex does everything he can but is shunted to the fringes of the investigation.

Good Alex Cross Book. Recommend. Not his best, but good. I thing James PAtterson has excellent writing skills, however, sometimes it appears that biiks are written too fast to get them on the market. James, slow down - one every two months is OK.
