While it's not strictly necessary to read the Alex Cross series in order, doing so can provide a better understanding of character development and story arcs. Each book can generally be read as a standalone, but reading them in order can enhance the overall experience.

Do you have to read Alex Rider books in order?

Sorta...the Alex Rider series all have the same basic story line in all 9 books: Some criminal plans to do something horrible to the world and Alex, a 14-year-old spy, stops the bad guy and saves the day. However, the fifth book, "Scorpia" has its specific sequel; the ninth book, "Scorpia Rising." So you should probably have read the fifth book to understand the ninth book, passing three other books in doing so. As far as the others, "Stormbreaker" I think should be started first since it starts the whole series, "Point Blank" and "Skeleton Key" I suppose you could get by without reading in order, "Eagle Strike" should come next since it sets up the plot for "Scorpia", then "Scorpia," you don't have to read "Ark Angel," "Snakehead," or "Crocodile Tears" in order, and then finally the last book, "Scorpia Rising" which comes back to "Scorpia." So, in all, no I suppose you don't have to read the whole series in order, but you should read "Stormbreaker," "Eagle Strike," "Scorpia," and "Scorpia Rising" in that order if you're going to read the series at all. But when you'd jump from the first book to the fourth book, there are some brief flashback moments to the books you would've skipped. It's nothing major, but if you get hear a name you've never heard before, it probably was just Alex reflecting on a mission in an earlier book. (But I recommend reading the whole series in order, it's a very good series and the remaining four books you don't have to read in order are just good to read anyway.)
