SHOCK INDUCTION (Chuck Palahniuk) - March 8/25

LONDON BRIDGES (James Patterson) - March 3/25

 Definitely an odd Alex Cross story, as it feels like a spy thriller for the most part. It’s entertaining enough, I suppose, but it did feel pretty long. And that abrupt ending is just weird. **1/2 out of ****
