SRP Book Review #27
Violets are Blue by James Patterson
393 pages
James Patterson is a great plotter, but not such a great writer. This book took me less than 24 hours to finish, which is typical of his books, and if they took any longer, I wouldn't bother.
This was one of his Alex Cross books. The mystery Alex is trying to solve this time is a string of murders all across the country that appear to be committed by vampires. Everything unfolds about how you'd expect, especially if you've watched enough episodes of CSI and The X-Files.
The vampire murders are wrapped up about 80 pages before the end of the book, and then there's some business with a subplot involving someone who's been stalking Alex, which really wasn't very interesting, nor was the identity of the stalker particularly surprising, considering the "subtle" hints throughout the rest of the book.
