I loved the Murder Club series up to 12 or 13. Just read 14 and 15 and thought they slipped. Plot holes and weak stories. Time to switch to another series?

Have read All of Alex Cross books. They are Awesome. He writes them alone. It is suggested you read them in order. Along came a Spider is his First one. Kiss the Girls is next. He builds up his characters quite well. Nana, his deceased wife’s mother lives with him. Very important character. Have read the series 2x. It has 24 books in all. Will be happy to answer any questions for you. It’s all about crime. They read quickly with chapters being 3 or 4 pages. This is the only JP series I read because he’s the sole author…ENJOY

Nana isn’t his deceased wife’s mother – it’s his Grandmother. I’ve literally just put the 2nd book down (again) Jack and Jill next for me ? love Nana ?

I’ll ask my neighbors but they would have told me. Lately, thieves are going around stealing packages off door steps.That package would have been small. Its a mystery. I do appreciate the thought Danielle. Merry Christmas to you. and also Happy Boxing Day!!!!!! I’ll be happy to send you money.

1
Danielle

Stop worrying about the money, it was negligable. Pocket change. Less than $1, really not worth the hassle! Merry Christmas to you too!! Have a good one xx

Love them, but don’t start reading one at night because you’ll end up with no sleep, because you think just another chapter and before you know it, it’s time to get up ?

Yes I have just finished the latest one. They are stand alone but the Alex Cross ones mention people who were in earlier books so better read them in order. Michael Connelly is also a good author
