I was shocked when the Mastermind’s identity was revealed, but I felt like it was underwhelmed by how depressing and disappointing this novel is. The action and the mystery are disappointing. He took the only relationship that I’ve ever cared for (with the exception of Kate from “Kiss the Girls”) and ruins it. But nope! He throws it away and doesn’t even try to put any emotion into it. I was hoping that Patterson would have their love for each other become more stronger, due to the previous events of the last installment. I freaking love the romance between Alex and Christine in the past. The story is a mess, it doesn’t continue anything from the previous novels. Not only does it waste everything from the last five books, but it also wastes the potential that this novel by itself could have done so wonderfully. While not the worst I’ve ever read, “Roses Are Red” (the sixth Alex Cross novel) is indeed a huge disappointment.
