This was my first Alex Cross experience. I did not find this an exciting page-turner. The hacking descriptions were not quite accurate/believable/possible for me. But this is not a hacking book, so I let that slide.
It seemed to have a good flow until the end where a lot of loose ends were unexplained, but that must be the author wrapping up and getting us ready for the next book in the series.
I don't want to be negative on the book, I frequently read various authors, so the series thing is not for me.
