Pop Goes the Weasel Alex Cross James Patterson Books

I do have to say I enjoyed Pop Goes the Weasel more than the other four Alex Cross books. I also know it’s not the best in the series though, if that makes sense to you. Why don’t you see what I thought?

The Ugly: A major murder investigation and the lead detective decides to go on a vacation with his girlfriend, kids, and mother? No cop in the world would ever do such a thing. It doesn’t matter how much the cop hates his boss or not, there are always ways around someone like that. So, the real problem here is Cross’ boss. Either quite or request a transfer if the work environment is hostile.

The Bad: Now, speaking of the vacation. One of the major plot points in this book is the disappearance of Christine. But it just seemed to be glossed over. I don’t understand it, but I can accept it because…

The Good: The best part about this book, and the reason I like it the most, is that it’s not all about murders. Cross is investigating one killer here. It’s not a complicated story with multiple murders. Then the trial started and things picked up. It was more of a political and court room thriller than a murder thriller. It was a nice change of pace.

Final Thoughts: Seeing as how the problems with his boss has been going on for five books now, I can look pass that. I’m sure you can too. Like I said, so far this is my personnel favorite, but not the best.

Pop Goes the Weasel Alex Cross James Patterson Books Reviews

With over three hundred million books sold there is a good reason why James Patterson's books are so popular. He grabs you in the first few pages. In "Pop Goes the Weasel" Detective Alex Cross suspects a British diplomat of a number of vicious killings. This case will draw into harms way Alex's family and his girlfriend.
This story hits Alex Cross, both intimately and personally. With the Weasel on the prowl, it's not just another serial murder, it's a game, a game The Weasel is winning. This book keeps you on the edge of your seat, turning page after page, even when the eyes grow tired. My heart was with Cross, and his family, even at the verge of them giving up. I was totally surprised by the ending, and look forward to more of Cross. Cross is dynamic, and the one detective you want on your side.
Not as good as "Along Came A Spider" or "Kiss the Girls", but it's a lot better than "Cat & Mouse". Patterson does manage to redeem himself and the Alex Cross series in this next installment, "Pop Goes The Weasel".

The new killer, Geoffrey Shafer, is indeed one of the most terrifying villains since Casanova and Soneji. He takes scariness to a whole new level and really gives Alex a hard time. The romance between Alex and Christine is just beautiful in this novel. I love how they care for each other and love each other. I'm glad that they are getting married. And I know I said this before, but I freaking love Alex's kids in this series. So adorable and cute. And you got to love Nana Mama (the only person who can get away with arguing with Alex and making him angry). For once (even if it is for only the beginning and middle of the story), I'm happy that things are settling down.

But then there are the problems that I have with this story. There are too many sub-plots going on. I mean, the new character, Patsy Hampton, she doesn't fit into this story at all. Even as I character I don't care for her, because I'm still trying to figure out why she is even in this story. There is also a story-plot that involves Geoffrey being involved with three other killers, who call themselves the "Four Horsemen" (which he is one of them). I felt like Patterson could have done more with all four of these killers instead of just mentioning them throughout the story and only having them appear together once, which is the ending. Also, Christine's kidnapping went on for "way" to long in this story and it also feels like a cliché. And while I do kinda like the ending, I felt like Patterson could have done so much better.

"Pop Goes The Weasel" is an okay novel and it does redeem Patterson for his work on "Cat & Mouse", but it doesn't hold up for what made "Along Came A Spider", "Kiss the Girls", and "Jack & Jill" so good. The beginning and most of the middle really had me going, but it is the final part of the story that didn't sit well with me. If you are a fan of the Alex Cross series, then maybe you might like this one.
