While I attend some great panels and meet some authors and publishers in New York City this week, I didn’t want to leave my readers high and dry for reviews. My mom, Pat, has supplied me with enough reviews to get you through until my return. Please give her a warm welcome. If you want, check out my thoughts on Alex Cross’s Trial.
Alex Cross’s Trial by James Patterson and Richard DiLallo begins with Alex Cross transcribing the story of his great uncle Abraham to make sure his children know there is more than one hero in the family. The story takes place in Eudora, Mississippi, in the 1900s. Ben Corbett has been asked by President Roosevelt to investigate ruors of the Ku Klux Klan and lynchings of Black folk in the south.
In this story, attorney Ben Corbett heads back to his hometown in the south to investigate the rumors. Dealing with slavery, racism, and more, Alex Cross’s Trial is an action packed, suspenseful story. It will have readers on pins and needles at all times, keeping you interested until its conclusion. Another five-star read from Patterson.

True Blue by David Baldacci follows former Washington, D.C., cop Mace Perry and her sister Beth, who is the police chief. Mace was kidnapped and framed for a crime, which she did not commit, and was sent to prison. Mace spent two years in prison, lost her job, badge, and freedom.
Once released from prison, Mace sets off to right the wrong that had been done to her and find the true criminal who set her up and sent her to prison. Beth introduces her sister to Roy Kingman, an attorney. Together, Mace and Roy work to clear her name. The bulk of the novel focuses on the nasty people they encounter and the people set in their path to derail the process of clearing Mace’s name.
Baldacci has written a fast-paced novel that will entice readers to keep turning the pages until the very end. This is my first Baldacci book and would recommend this author to others. Very enjoyable and suspenseful read. Five stars.
