Fast page-turner, although the final confrontation left me scratching my head a bit, wondering about motive...

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.

You can not go wrong with a James Patterson book. This book is full of suspense and surprises. You are going to love this book. You will ever know who the killer is until the end of the book.

Suspensful. I enjoyed this as it filled in some gaps from
Alex and Maria's life

FBI agent Alex Cross is on vacation with his family in Disneyland when he gets a call from the director. A top actress has been shot outside her home in Beverly Hills. Shortly afterward, an editor for the Los Angeles Times receives an e-mail recounting the murder in shocking detail, signed Mary Smith. ..Another great Alex Cross novel.

I found this book to be really good. I found myself trying to guess constantly through the book who it could possibly be.

It was very good, great ending!!

FBI agent Alex Cross is on vacation with his family in Disneyland when he gets a call fro the director. A top actress has been shot outside her home in Beverly Hills. Shortly afterward, an editor for the Los Angeles Times receives an e-mail recounting the murder in shocking detail, signed Mary Smith. The authorities fear this is only the beginning. More killings follow, and more e-mails arrive immediately after. Mary Smith is targeting Hollywood stars and power brokers, and she is getting better every time. Right from the start, this case is like nothing Alex has ever confronted before. Could this be the plan of an obsessed fan or a spurned actor, or is it part of something much more terrifying? And how could a woman be capable of these vicious crimes? People make enemies easily in Hollywood. To track down a merciless killer, Alex must navigate a world where the stars and players sip San Pellegrino at the Ivy as hopefuls hover around studio gates armed with 8 X 10 glossies. Everyone is desperate for a close-up, but this is one fan Hollywood could do without. Members of the A-list fear they're next on Mary's list, and the case catapults into blockbuster proportions as Cross and the LAPD scramble to find a pattern before Mary can send one more chilling update.

Although I didn't find MARY, MARY as riveting as the first Alex Cross novels KISS THE GIRLS or ALONG CAME A SPIDER, I was still glad to see Mr. Cross back in action--in his private and professional life.

While on a long-awaited, and definitely well-earned, vacation at Disneyland in California with his family--Nana Mama, daughter Jannie, teenaged son Damon, and three-year-old Alex Jr.--Alex wants nothing more than spend some quality time with those he loves. Yes, the fact that James Truscott, an investigative journalist who has been hounding Alex for months, shows up on their vacation is an annoyance, but nothing that can't be handled. He even gets to meet his current love interest, Jamilla Hughes, an officer with the San Francisco PD, for a little one-on-one R & R. But then his vacation is brought short, yet again, by a phone call from his boss, summoning him to a crime scene at the home of a famous actress right there in L.A.

Detective Cross is inevitably drawn deeper and deeper into a case that he was only supposed to have to give his initial impressions on. Someone is killing famous and wealthy mothers in the entertainment business--someone who claims to call herself Mary Smith, and who sends an email after each death detailing the crime to L.A. Times entertainment writer Arnold Griner.

As Alex gives chase to "Mary Smith", interviewing the victim's families and trying to find any clue as to the killer's identity, his personal life takes a downward spiral--his ex, Christine, little Alex's mother, is suing for full-custody, and Jamilla informs him that she's found someone new. As Alex tries to put his family first once again, he realizes that the job always seems to get in the way--and this case is no different.

In typical fast-paced James Patterson style, MARY, MARY is an engrossing thriller that will have you turning pages quickly to find out what happens next.

James Patterson is a wonderful author. His books are very difficult to put down. This one really had me guessing. Very enjoyable!

A good mystery story. keeps you turning the pages. what was unique, or so it seemed to me was the fact that the chapters were so small. two to three pages were many of them, and for what reason I could not guess. another mystery ?

I'm not usually into books like this, but the whole time I was asking myself questions and it actually had me thinking. It definitely wasn't predictable, which I love. I never felt bored or lost, the way he wrote it had you thinking the same way the main character was.

If James Patterson could only write faster - love his books and this was no exception.
Great READ!!!
