I really enjoyed "Violets Are Blue" in a guilty sort of way, but I have to say this was one of the worst books I've ever read. Exploitative, badly structured and unbelievable in almost every way. Lee Child does this sort of plot ten times better.
Just good Patterson. This is when his writing was good..I loved all of the earlier Alex Cross books. They were creepy and could suck the reader in from page one. Alas, that Patterson is gone!
After two extremely disappointing Alex Cross books ("Roses are Red/Viloets are Blue"), this restored my faith in the series. Once again, Patterson gave us intriguing villains like he did in "Along Came a Spider" and Jack And Jill". Great story filled with action and suspense!
