Synopsis

Cross. Now streaming on Prime Video. 

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.

This is a good book although at times a little confusing. Some of the characters seem to run together and are hard to keep up with. Other than that a pretty good book.

I am a great Patterson fan and so far haven't read one of his books that I didn't like. I really enjoy the Woman's Murder Club series.

Goodreads review by Baba on March 15, 2023

Dare I say it, but this is the James Patterson book factory at its best. Holidaying Alex Cross gets involved with the investigation of a serial celebrity killer(!).

This Alex Cross book is suspenseful. It keeps you guessing throughout! I don’t think I have ever read a book where I debated whether it was a man or woman in my life. I really enjoyed the psychological aspect of this one since there was more emphasis on the psychology of the perp than some of the ot......more

Goodreads review by Brittany on September 12, 2023

It's always a great time to be on another adventure with Alex Cross. Maybe not all of these books are the most remarkable books I have ever read, but there are all pretty fun to read. I loved the idea of this one and had fun guessing who the killer might be. It was fun to think about how the public......more

Goodreads review by Paul on June 30, 2024

James Patterson is back in form! Top females on Hollywood's A-list are being murdered in a particularly vicious manner. The details of each killing make it clear that the motives are entirely personal. After each killing (and in one case almost during the killing itself), the murderer sends an e-mail......more

3.25 Stars for Mary, Mary: Alex Cross #11 (audiobook) by James Patterson read by Peter Jay Fernandez, Melissa Leo and Michael Louis Wells. I liked the premise of the story but the writing felt a little clunky to me. I think I’ll wait a while before I revisit this series.......more
