Reviews
Taut, fast-paced, and leavened with Patterson's dark sense of humor, Violets Are Blue is a wickedly entertaining read, an old-fashioned story about the powers of good and evil. Mark another notch on Patterson's belt: This book puts the thrill in thriller., Another Page-Turner...You Won't Be Able to Put 'violets' Down until You've Reached the Back Cover., Patterson is first-rate as he explores the shadowy world of American vampires, fetishists, cults, tattoo parlors, and the prosthetic fang business...Daniel Whitner performs Cross, and Kevin O'Rourke plays all the villains. Both are accomplished readers. Whitner has Cross...down pat, while O'Rourke does a chilling job of creating the Mastermind and the two beautiful psychopaths who play with tigers., Fans of James Patterson's resourceful cop Alex Cross will be relieved to find that he's back on familiar territory with Violets Are Blue--and, more importantly, that this is one of the best Alex Cross thrillers yet...If you can resist reading this one in just a few sittings, you deserve some kind of a thriller reader's medal.
