Publisher's summary

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.

Patterson's Great!

This was a very good listen! I wasn't put off by the "Romance" because it was a very small part of the book. Usually, I can figure out the end of a "who dunnit" but this one took me by total surprise. I'm sure the next Alex Cross novel will answer most of the questions I had at the end. Download....you won't be disappointed!

Excellent, Suspenseful Thriller!

Again, I have to say that I loved it. Excellent job by the oral readers who brought all of the characters to life. Keep them. Alex Cross is a complicated and fascinating hero. The story had me guessing until the end. I'm going to listen to it again.

For the True Alex Cross fans!

This book is not for the casual reader of mysteries. This book is for the true Alex Cross fans. This book is a turning point in Alex Cross' life. Yes, there is a murder mystery (a darn good one), but it also focus on Alex Cross' personal life. If you are not an Alex Cross fan, you will probably not appreciate this book. But I found the story truly entertaining and guessing to the end who the killer was. Has a super ending. Enjoy!!!!

Best of Alex Cross

I am a James Patterson nut. I like anything he writes. I think this is the best Alex Cross story to date as it was fast paced and surprising, although I thought he left a few loose ends, and not loose ends leading into another story but not finishing this one. It will be interesting to see if Alex really retires and stays home with his family or goes back to the force in DC to stay close to home. I don't think James Patterson is ready for him to quit just yet.
