Editorial Reviews about Mary, Mary:
|
FBI agent Alex Cross is on vacation with his family at Disneyland when he gets a call from the Director. A well-known actress was shot outside her home in Beverly Hills. Shortly afterward, an editor for the Los Angeles Times receives an e-mail describing the murder in vivid detail. Alex quickly learns that this is not an isolated incident. The killer, known as Mary Smith, has done this before and plans to kill again. Right from the beginning, this case is like nothing Alex has ever confronted. Is this the plan of an obsessed fan or a spurned actor, or is it part of something much more frightening? And particularly baffling, how could a woman be capable of these vicious crimes? Members of Hollywood+s A-list fear they+re next on Mary+s list, and the case grows by blockbuster proportions as the LAPD and FBI scramble to find a pattern before Mary can send one more chilling update.Filled with the ruthless and shocking twists that make his fans hunger for more, MARY, MARY is James Patterson+s most sophisticated thriller yet.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Mary Mary a Winner in my Book!
Comment: I never lost faith in James Patterson. I knew after the last two attempts he made with the Big Bad Wolf and London Bridges, that there still had to be some life left in Patterson to bring back the quality of the older Alex Cross books again! I thoroughly enjoyed Mary Mary. The story kept me captivated and it was extremely hard to put down. Alex, Nana, Damon, Jannie, Little Alex (now Ali), Sampson and all the other Bureau guys are back as Alex takes on one of his most psychotic killers yet. This book takes you north, then back south, then east and back west as Alex and his Team chase this killer all over North America. When the book hits its climax it has you hanging on and the end is something I honestly say I never guessed. The book was awesome, and I would recommend it to any Alex Cross fan to read.

Comment: This is similar book as the other Patterson's. If you like his style, you will like this book
Customer Rating:
Summary: Weaker and Weaker
Comment: Maybe I am a little harsh as I may be a little tired of Patterson's books but I didnt think this one was very good. I am not seeing any good details of how the killer is caught nor is the killer very interesting. The letters written to the gossip columnist were't very intriguing and they gave me the sense Patterson was just "slapping" this book together. The purpose of the letters should have been something more intriguing or played a better part but they didn't. I also saw what I thought to be a large flaw with the crime detection. There's mention of the same, unique gun and crime done in NY much earlier but no cross check was ever done. It seemed to me that a good detective, would have checked out the rare gun, similar crimes on 2 coasts, cross referenced with times and plane tickets to narrow down suspects.

Summary: could not put it down
Comment: WOW. This is the first James Patterson novel I had read, it was a gift from my sister. I read it at the boring hospital while my mom was in there, and I must say I am very glad she gave it to me. I could not put it down. I read for hours and hours each day. I loved it. It is usually hard for me to read at a hospital with all the distractions, but i was so into this book i did not really notice any distractions other than trying to finish this awesome book. I am a patterson fan now after this and if you could recommend any good alex cross books, i would appreciate it, i might just start at the beginning and go from there..
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not a suspense thriller, just an average murder story
Comment: This was another 200 page short story spread over 392 pages with generous margins and a lot of white space with 121 chapters. But it was an easy read, much better than most of the previous books in the Alex Cross series except the first three which were four star.
There was not a lot of actual detective work with Alex following up on clues. For example almost at the end the villain and a reporter show up in Vermont without the reader being made aware of how or why they choose to be there. When Alex finally discovered from a newspaper article who the villain might be and killed him, it was only then that the connections between the villain and all the previous victims were told to the reader. This was not a thriller with any suspense, just a mundane murder story with a flat ending.
