Love the "nursery rhyme" Alex Cross series -- always a good mystery and lots of tension.

"Pop Goes the Weasel" is one of the best of the Alex Cross series yet. I'm a long-time fan of James Patterson and own a lot of his books. I have always liked the Alex Cross series and am always searching for every last book that James Patterson puts out on it. "Pop goes the Weasel" was not only a good suspense thriller but it kept you on your toes at all times. One of those books that is hard to put down...I enjoyed the plot and the characters in it. Geoffrey Shafer is one of the craftiest killers yet. And Alex is Alex trying to balance his work life with his personal life.

Corss is one of the best protagonists of the modern thriller genre, and one of the most likable. Patterson has a unique gift for making the reader feel Cross's joys and pains.
