Alex Cross’s Trial~

I am a true James Patterson fan and had been holding on to Alex Cross’s Trial as I knew that it was not an “Alex Cross” novel but a novel written by the fictional Alex Cross.  Alex Cross makes an appearance in the beginning and only for a foreword. I am not much into historical [...]

Book Ponderings part deux~
