Roses are Red - James Patterson

 A new murder mystery to be solved...…

I happen to got this book through a friend who knows I like reading. Though I got the book long ago, I finally read it and it was worth it!! 😀

Roses are Red is the sixth novel in the series. I was not aware until I had started reading it and became a fan. Alex Cross detective series has 25 books. The continuation of Roses are Red is followed by Violets are Blue which is ironic.

Moving on to the view about the book, which is shortly mentioned above the story is attention grabbing with a series of bank robberies which includes murders. Thriller as it gets and unfolds, the story makes one want to turn the page and be curious.

It gives a lesson to care for your loved ones and be as close as you can to them. Maintain a work life balance to make up time for other important things in life.

The story is not only thriller but emotional as well, which gave details of the previous series and ongoing stories. Roses are Red caught my attention immediately that I forgot to highlight my favorite quotes but managed to get two of it 👌

QUOTES

- "If you're going around in circles, maybe you are cutting corners"

- "Waiting in hospitals is as close as we get to being in hell before our time"

- "Here's a nice image for a life in balance,” she said. “You're juggling these four balls that you've named work, family, friends, spirit. Now, work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it bounces back. The other balls they're made of glass.                            I've dropped a few of those glass balls in my day. Sometimes they chip, sometimes they shatter to pieces."
