Cross my Heart / James Patterson / 410 pages

In this latest installment of the Detective Cross series, Alex discovers what it is like to...well, I'm going to leave you hanging just like Patterson did to me.  Suffice it to say, he is head-to-head with two murderers who love the pleasure of killing, have absolutely no morals, and one thinks he is the perfect criminal and wrote a book to prove it.  I think maybe the author of the "You Wouldn't Want to..." series for kids might want to write You Wouldn't Want to be a Police Detective...too many cases and too little time.
