After I read James Patterson by James Patterson, I became a fan and devoured all the Alex Cross, Women’s Murder Club, and Michael Bennett books. So, yeah Alex Cross was my first. Back in 2022, is when I read, Along Came a Spider (the first book in the series).
When I saw this one, Return of the Spider, a prequel to book one, I wanted to jump in a time machine and get it immediately. I probably should’ve reread book one to get more familiar with Gary Soneji and his criminal instincts.
It was Alex Cross before he became the famous Alex Cross and it also featured present day Alex Cross. Sounds confusing, but for me, I was able to follow along and felt that I was his partner. Lots of flashbacks to what happened before Along Came a Spider. Basically, it was Alex’s first case with John Sampson.
I am not going to provide any spoilers. All I will say, I really enjoyed it and can’t wait for the next Alex Cross book.
