I've loved all of James Patterson's books, and this is no exception. Filled with murder and misdirection, this easy read captures your attention and keeps it.
Alex Cross is asked to investigate the murder of an actress in Los Angeles, and an email sent to the Los Angeles Times that has details about the murder, signed by Mary Smith. More killings and more emails follow. Alex Cross and the LAPD must find a pattern to these murders before Mary Smith sends another chilling update.
I loved this mystery. It's must better than the last few books in the series.
What a great series! Another Alex Cross episode, and, as all of the others, full of suspense and intrigue. It's great the way Patterson gives you insight into both the personal side of Alex as well as his professional involvements. Another page-turner, I couldn't wait to find out how this one was handled and solved by Alex. I love getting to know the people in Alex Cross's life and see how he deals with the never-ending drama in his children's lives as well as Nana. Great book!!

MARY MARY WAS A VERY GOOD BOOK. I FINISHED IT THIS MORNING OVER LOOKING THE LAKE AND ENJOYING SOME COFFEE. THE LAST 140 PAGES WERE GREAT AND REALLY WRAPPED EVERYTHING UP FAST. I HAVE BEEN WAITING TO READ THIS BOOK AND IT WASN'T WHAT I THOUGHT IT WAS LIKE BUT IT WAS A GOOD BOOK. THE HYPE OF THE BOOK WAS MORE THAN I THOUGHT IT WAS WHEN I READ IT BUT PATTERSON PULLED IT OFF AND IT WAS A GREAT ENDING THE WHOLE ENDING!!! IT IS A MUST READ CROSS BOOK. KEEP THE SERIES COMPLETE AND READ THEM ALL.
