Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.co.uk
The malign criminal genius of Roses Are Red is back and fixing to give Alex a hard time once again. The FBI joins Patterson's dogged cop in a particularly unsettling investigation: two San Francisco joggers have been viciously murdered and are found suspended by their feet, with all the blood drained from their bodies. And when further brutal deaths follow in California and on the east coast, Alex is forced to contemplate the bizarre possibility of modern-day vampires, although his instincts point him to one of the many sinister religious cults that flourish on the West Coast. Aided by Jamilla Hughes, a streetwise young woman detective from San Francisco, Alex finds that he has to crack not one but two impenetrable mysteries to stop further bloodletting.
Readers of Patterson expect the extremely concise, page-turning chapters (116 of them), along with a reluctance to dawdle over details of his hero's personal life, and both characteristics are firmly back in place. If you can resist reading this one in just a few sittings, you deserve some kind of a thriller-reader's medal. --Barry Forshaw -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.

Kundenrezensionen
However, there are several deja-vus in the story: The potential love affair with a femal cop, a highly intelligent mass murderer, his family in danger, the killer who tries to proove something to Cross, etc. Only the setting - vampires - is new.
Unfortunately, the name of one of the killers - the so called mastermind -was already mentioned in the last book. Hence some of the suspense for the reader to find out who the killer might be lost.
In summmary, still a must read for all Patterson and Alex Cross fans although not as fantasitic as the previous Alex Cross stories.
When I read the ending of Roses Are Red, I wondered how a sequel could possibly work. But Patterson has demonstrated once again the breath of his storytelling ability. The sub plots are also engrossing. So my advice is to read Roses Are Red first, then get set for a rollercoaster of torment in Violets Are Blue.
I read a few Alex Cross novels but this has been definitely the worst.
