Our view
“Four Blind Mice” is a brisk eighth Alex Cross thriller that takes the detective into the world of the army. James Patterson’s lean style keeps the suspense rising, and the bond between Cross and his partner John Sampson makes the case personal. Some readers feel the series is growing predictable by this point and find the ending uneven; others are more attached to Cross than ever.
