Fiction. Mystery. Thriller. HTML:Alex Cross is racing against time as a series of crimes stuns Washington, D. C.-and he might be facing his most brilliant enemy yet.
In a series of terrifying crimes, bank robbers have been laying out precise demands when they enter the building-and then killing the bank employees and their families if those instructions are not followed to the letter.
Detective Alex Cross takes on the case, certain that this is no ordinary bank robber at work; the pathological need for control and perfection is too great. Cross is in the midst of a personal crisis at home, but the case becomes all-consuming as he learns that the Mastermind is plotting one huge, last, perfect crime.

Roses are Red is a romantic thriller that features Detective Alex Cross. This time he is up against a criminal who calls himself the Mastermind. His first crime is a bank robbery with the bank employees families held hostage, if the employees do not follow instructions or the robbers are not out on time the hostages will be killed. Each crime is different, often involving different criminals, building to a million dollar hostage situation. This is much more than a thriller, Alex has a love interest or two, a wonderful family that you’ll love, personal problems, etc. Joy Stuart.

Why is it that everyone Alex Cross loves or trusts ends up screwing him in the end? I considered the guy who's the Mastermind as a villain in earlier books but that went by the wayside...guess he didn't. I fully expect one of Alex's kids to grow up to be a killer in one of the higher number editions of this series...that's just how it seems to go... ( )

Fluff but fun fluff. A page turner. Very visual-like NYPD Blue.

A terrific, humanized, police procedural that picks up soon after "Pop Goes the Weasel" leaves off. Christine is traumatized by her ordeal by the Weasel though her little boy with Alex is the apple of everyone's eye. Still, Alex is still a detective and works the streets and his personal life has to pay a price.

The premise is a series of bank robberies where sometimes hostages, sometimes bank employees, are shot. And the reader is in the mind of the robbers as well as The Mastermind, the evil human being who selects the robbers and plans the murders. There is a repetitive counting and exactness for the timing of each robbery that makes the psychological bent of the killers and the Mastermind the forefront of the episodes.

And then shortly after each robbery is a twist. And a woman is attacked by the Mastermind. And still some clues just don't lead to any results. It is one of those mysteries that did not take pity on anyone, hostage or bank robber alike, and just when things couldn't get worse, they do. Till the very end where a clue just leaps off the page and gets the reader ready for the next book! ( )

Really enjoyed this book a lot and immediately read the next one.

Finding out who the Mastermind was at the end was quite a shock. I never suspected. ( )

Brianne Parker didn't look like a bank robber or a murderer -- her pleasantly plump baby face fooled everyone.
