Our view
“Pop Goes the Weasel” is a dark, quick-moving Alex Cross thriller, the fifth in the series. Some readers single out a villain who feels all too real, with Cross’s steady sense of right at the centre. Doubts come from readers who find the twists predictable after earlier Patterson novels or the plot reliant on convenient evidence and dropped threads. It is best enjoyed by those already following Cross.
