"Along Came A Spider" After A "Season Of Passion"

I took advantage of the Corona quarantine to do some Sunday afternoon reading.  I finished Danielle Steel's "Season Of Passion" this afternoon.  Honestly, it wasn't one of my favorites.  Katie cheated on Tom, not that he would have known it after being brain damaged due to a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. She never even divorced him before moving on.  And the way she handled Tom's relationship with their son, Tygue, didn't sit well with me either.   All in all, I'm glad to be done with this book, and I can't wait to begin "Along Came A Spider" by James Patterson, which I will be reading with my friend Marsha Chapman as we start our own mini reading circle. "Along Came A Spider" begins with the double kidnapping of the daughter of a famous Hollywood actress and the young son of the Secretary of the Treasury.  And that's onlhy the beginning!  Gary Soneji is a murderous serial kidnapper who wants to commit the crime of the century.  Alex Cross is the brilliant homicide detective pitted against him.  Jezzie Flanagan is the fumale supervisor of the Secret Service who completes one of the most unusual suspense triangles in any thriller you have ever read.  It won't be my first time reading a James Patterson book.  I previously read, and blogged about, "The Quickie," which I really enjoyed.  I am also aware that several, if not all, of the books featuring Alex Cross have been made into movies.  Both Morgan Freeman and Tyler Perry have taken on the role of the "brilliant homicide detective."  Maybe it's time for me to check out those movies a little more closely!  In the meantime, I am eager to take a literary "journey" with Alex Cross for the very first time!
