Crossed Over: A Murder, A Memoir

Product Information

White, Peter (February 7, 2022). "Daveed Diggs To Narrate Disney+ Basketball Series 'The Crossover' ". Deadline Hollywood . Retrieved February 7, 2022. This is different from a spoof, where one discrete character, setting, or universe, copies another character, setting, or universe, often in a comedic manner. The Crossover is a novel written in verse about the 12-year old twins Josh and Jordan Bell. Even though I’ve enjoyed novels in verse in the past – I’m a particular fan of Acevedo’s work – this book wasn’t necessarily on my to-read list. I can’t quite recall the last time I read a proper middle grade novel, excluding for nostalgic rereads, of course. The earliest such crossover event was Gardner Fox's Zatanna's Search which took place in Hawkman #4 (October/November 1964), Detective Comics #336 (February 1965), The Atom #19 (June/July 1965), Green Lantern #42 (January 1966), Detective Comics #355 (September 1966), and Justice League of America #51 (February 1967). This story dealt with Zatanna attempting to reconnect with her father, Zatara, and seeking the aid of Hawkman, Batman, Robin, the Atom, Green Lantern, and the Elongated Man along the way. I still remember reading the Alex’s first adventure, “Along came a Spider” and almost cried when Alex, then a widower, faced the loss of his new love in an ending twist I would never forget. In the thirty years following, there have been some good (and excellent) adventures and some less-than-stellar outings along the way, but I generally looked forward to the end of each year when another Alex Cross adventure was published.

Inevitably, there are a few points where the reader needs to suspend disbelief, particularly where the lead couple’s cases intersect. And, probably due to having two cases running simultaneously, the final reveal of the Family Man’s identity and the motive behind the chilling murders was not as impactful as I had expected. However, Patterson makes up for the shortcomings by closing Triple Cross on a nail-biting note with the exciting possibility of a face-off between M and Alex in the oncoming episode. Simple language, short chapters, crisp dialogues and vivid descriptions make Triple Cross a rapid, riveting read, and it is not to be missed by the fans of this splendid series and any other reader looking for all-round entertainment. This is yet another fast paced gripping read, The Family Man killer has been killing entire families in a cold blooded, heartless manner. Some within publishing deem a novel “crossover” when it is written for children or young adults but attracts a healthy adult audience. The quintessential example being J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series. Others—mostly in the fields of public relations and marketing—consider a novel “crossover” when it is written for adults but young adults read and spread the word about it. Think—George R.R. Martin and Game of Thrones. Parodic crossovers can be used to lend verisimilitude to the fictional world of a program. Characters from a fictional television series may appear on a stylized version of an established non-fictional television series, such as game shows or reality shows. These crossovers between celebrity hosts and fictional characters are quite common on situation comedies. Mama's Family once appeared on Family Feud and the townsfolk of The Vicar of Dibley have had their heirlooms valuated on Antiques Roadshow, for instance.This book has the perfect ending. It totally made me sob. “I watch the ball leave his hands like a bird up high, skating the sky, crossing over us.” Gosh, I could cry again.

Research shows that when parents read and discuss fiction with children of all ages, they positively impact the development of the core competencies of social-emotional development, which includes nurturing self and social awareness, developing relationship skills, and influencing responsible decision-making. Reading fiction impacts the development of empathy and resilience too, and it enhances readers’ ability to navigate complex social relationships. Can you think of a better way to parent our teens than to foster connections with each other through literature? Beverly sees and reads a newspaper article of Karla and for some reason this mother in absolute despair wants to meet Karla. In their first long conversation together, Karla told Beverly about the murders, taking full responsibility for them, and Beverly told Karla about the hit-and-run killing of her son Peter and her devastation at losing him. Over the course of more than 10 years, the two women became close, their friendship ending with Karla's 1998 execution. She was the first woman in Texas to be executed in 135 years. It is a unique memoir of friendship/bond for society it’s not a forgiveness you see everyday most often we do not forgive people for crimes they commit let alone listen to their story or even begin to care about them. Let me also say usually the forgiveness doesn’t often happen because some say they will do it again and or it may be hard to believe they won’t commit the act again.

This new novel by the author of Daddy's Girl will add to her reputation as an original, talented writer; it is not, however, an entirely successful effort,'' wrote PW of this tale of an actress Continue reading » Now, in 2022, the 30th book in the series – “Triple Cross” – has been published, and I have completed my coveted reading visit with Detective Cross.Patterson has, over almost three decades, built a stellar cast of characters in this series and all he needs to do is concoct plots and situations to challenge those, which he does supremely well in Triple Cross. It is always a pleasure to reconnect with Alex and his friends and family, including the dream grandmother—Nana mama. The new characters, especially NYPD detective Rosella Salazar and fashion designer Phillip Henry Luster—both part of Bree’s story—are well-crafted too and deserve another appearance or two. As usual, Patterson seasons the thrilling tale with the delightful happenings in Alex’s family, from Nana mama’s delectable dinners to the exploits of Alex’s kids—this time the athletic prowess of his daughter Jannie. Triple Cross” is another good Alex Cross book! Cross is on the trail of the Family Man murderer.

I’ve been reading James Patterson books for over twenty-five years. During that time, like most of his fans, my favorite character has always been Alex Cross. He was Patterson’s first detective series that helped lay the foundation for his kingdom of several bestselling series and stand-alone novels. For me, Alex has remained a fierce, intellectual knight of moral character and the proper use of action. A methodical killer is targeting multigenerational families in and around Washington, DC—striking under cover of darkness, triggering no alarms, leaving no physical evidence of any kind. And her wounded, invisibly dying husband, still respected and admired as a champion despite his crippling – OMG HE HAS TO QUIT BECAUSE HE HAS A KNEE INJURY.

The other members of Cross’s family seem to be aging—a bit slowly, but the children are growing older on a delayed time span. However, Nana Mama appears to be the same age as she was when the series started almost 30 years ago. She must be 110 now, but Patterson seems to want to keep her around 90, because were she to die, Alex Cross might actually have to show some emotional development.
