Book Reviews of Alex Cross's TRIAL
Book Review: Cheers
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not a Patterson fan, but I found this one not only easy to read but enticing cover to cover. The narration is swift and straight-forward, the detals precisely presented with accuracy and compactness. I don't think there is a word that could be deleted without damaging the book's overall effectiveness. It truly engages the reader and is almost impossible to put down. The only difficulty I had was making the connectioon to the Alex Cross backstory. But that I suppose would be clear to those who have read Patterson before. I recommend it highly. I might not read another Patterson, butI would certainly read another DiLallo.
Summary of Alex Cross's TRIAL
Separated by timeFrom his grandmother, Alex Cross has heard the story of his great uncle Abraham and his struggles for survival in the era of the Ku Klux Klan. Now, Alex passes the family tale along to his own children in a novel he's written--a novel called Trial.
Connected by blood
As a lawyer in turn-of-the-century Washington D.C., Ben Corbett represents the toughest cases. Fighting against oppression and racism, he risks his family and his life in the process. When President Roosevelt asks Ben to return to his home town to investigate rumors of the resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan there, he cannot refuse.
United by bravery
When he arrives in Eudora, Mississippi, Ben meets the wise Abraham Cross and his beautiful granddaughter, Moody. Ben enlists their help, and the two Crosses introduce him to the hidden side of the idyllic Southern town. Lynchings have become commonplace and residents of the town's black quarter live in constant fear. Ben aims to break the reign of terror--but the truth of who is really behind it could break his heart. Written in the fearless voice of Detective Alex Cross, Alex Cross's Trial is a gripping story of murder, love, and, above all, bravery.
