Product Description:
The Mastermind orchestrates a series of bank robberies that are notable for their precise demandsand their explosive violence when the demands are not met exactly. Detective Alex Cross takes on the case and recognizes that a particular kind of criminal mind is at work. Crosss investigation gets under the Masterminds skin, and he makes it his personal goal to take revenge on Cross and his entire team. Amidst all this, Crosss relationship with his girlfriend Christine is falling apart, and his beloved daughter Jannie is hospitalized with unexplained seizures. The pressure rises on every front, culminating in a shocking and explosive climax. Roses are Red is a Main Selection of The Literary Guild. Pop Goes the Weasel has more than 900,000 copies in print and was a #1 bestseller nationwide. The fan base of the Alex Cross series continues to grow with each book. Along Came a Spider is scheduled for release in October from Paramount with Morgan Freeman signed on to portray Alex Cross as he did in Kiss the Girls.
Amazon.com Review:
Roses Are Red, James Patterson's sixth Alex Cross thriller, opens with the District of Columbia detective attempting to mend his nearly unraveled family. The year-long kidnapping of one's intended (1999's Pop Goes the Weasel) will do that to a relationship. Christine, the kidnappee, is amenable with one reasonable condition: that her family's horizon remain uncluttered by homicidal maniacs. How unfortunate, then, that the joyous christening of their newborn son is rudely interrupted by the FBI bearing news of several heinous murders requiring the attention of detective (and doctor of psychology) Cross. "Three-year-old boy, the father, a nanny," Kyle said one more time before he left the party. He was about to go through the door in the sun porch when he turned to me and said, "You're the right person for this. They murdered a family, Alex."
As soon as Kyle was gone, I went looking for Christine. My heart sank. She had taken Alex and left without saying good-bye, without a single word. Which leaves Cross free to hunt the Mastermind, the barbarous brains behind a widening series of bank robberies in which employees or their family members are held hostage and, when instructions aren't followed to the finest iota, slaughtered. Given the cases' glaring and unfathomable inhumanity, Cross's long- time DCPD partner (the wonderful giant, John Sampson) gives way to the warm, attractive, and fiercely intelligent FBI Agent Betsey Cavalierre.
The longer and harder Cross and Cavalierre remain on his trail, the bolder and more brutal--and shiveringly close to home--the Mastermind's strikes become. And, thanks mostly to lightning-short paragraphs and a point of view that rappels from the first-person Cross to the third-person Mastermind, the tale progresses at hot-trot speed to a bona fide doozy of a denouement. It'll be over before you know it, so sit back, hold your breath, and enjoy the show. And stay tuned for the next one. --Michael Hudson

In Roses Are Red, Washington police detective/psychoanalyst Alex Cross is pitted against one of the most intelligent and ruthless criminal masterminds to ever wreak a trail of havok through the pages of a novel, calling himself, appropriately enough, the Mastermind. Having recruited a string of co-conspirators and henchmen - who themselves don't even know the Mastermind's true identity - he kicks off an explosive campaign of crimes, starting with a string of bank heists. The robberies are precise ... Read More

I would have given this 5 stars if Patterson would have stopped the novel when it should have ended. The surprise ending was such an obvious after-thought. I looked back through the book after I finished it and the surprise ending just doesn't work. But - I'm going to read Violets Are Blue and hope that Patterson makes it work.
