Representaion To Books Jack & Jill (Alex Cross #3)
In the middle of the night, a controversial U.S. senator is found murdered in bed in his Georgetown pied-a-terre. The police turn up only one clue: a mysterious rhyme signed "Jack and Jill" promising that this is just the beginning. Jack and Jill are out to get the rich and famous, and they will stop at nothing until their fiendish plan is carried out. Meanwhile, Washington, D. C., homicide detective Alex Cross is called to a murder scene only blocks from his house, far from the corridors of power where he spends his days. The victim: a beautiful little girl, savagely beaten--and desposited in front of the elementary school Cross's son, Damon, attends. Could there be a connection between the two murders? As Cross tries to put the pieces together, the killer- or killers - strike again. And again. No one in Washington is safe - not children, not politicians, not even the President of the United States. Only Alex Cross has the skills and the courage to crack the case-but will he discover the truth in time? A relentless roller coaster of heart-pounding suspense and jolting plot twists, Jack and Jill proves that no one can write a more compelling thriller than James Patterson--the master of the nonstop nightmare.Rating Of Books Jack & Jill (Alex Cross #3)

This may have been the best Patterson novel I've ever read including all stand-alone's and other series of his, it was that good! It was full of action from the get-go especially that there wasn't just one killer, there wasn't even just two, there was three. Two working together as Jack and Jill who are murdering well known celebrities and then also the Truth School killer who's murdering little kids. Both are shocking cases but maybe for different reasons. There is an element of racism in thisJames Patterson Jack and JillI listened to this book on audio and really enjoyed the experience.Patterson is a master of his genre and his older work, like Jack and Jill is especially great. Patterson has a winner in the two main protagonists in this book Dr Alex Cross and man mountainThe evil doers, Jack and Jill and the Truth School killer is written with enough humanity interwoven to make the reader somewhat conflicted. That is an excellent skill, making the bad guys, human enough for the
While reading this one I couldn't help thinking, was Kiss the Girls really that good?Patterson does have a terse writing style, but it didn't seem this bad before. It's bad here. All through reading it I was feeling like Patterson just hacked this one out of the word processor in one draft without a second glance. For a guy who writes so sparsely, he sure is repetitive throughout the story:'Was Jack up ahead? Was Hawkins Jack? Was this Jack up ahead?Could this be Jack up ahead? Had we just been
A murderous duo calling themselves Jack and Jill are killing important people in Washington, D.C. Detective Alex Cross is put on the case when they threaten the President. But he would rather stay on a more personal case....children are being killed at the school Cross' young son attends. Deaths continue as Cross investigates both cases. Is anyone in Washington safe?This book is definitely filled with action and twisted suspense. Originally published in 1996, the book is a bit dated in places.
Number 3 in he Alex Cross series and this time Alex has not one but two killer to hunt down.Two young children have been brutally murdered. Alex and his friend ,and fellow cop, Samson feel the need to get to the bottom of this asap. All the more so because Alex's kids attend the very same school that victims attended.To make matters worse there are two psychopathic killers (Jack & Jill) running around killing high profile citizens.Needless to say the FBI and the NYPD need Alex on the case.
I hated this book. It was recommended I read this by a friend who said this was a great series and this one was one of the best of this series. Wow, I can see we do not have the same taste. It was awfully written, implausible, and quite ridiculous. I will not read any more Alex Cross if the rest are like this.
I liked the story okay. I liked the setting being in Washington DC as I grew up near there and it's always fun to read stories where you know some of the locations. I also still like Alex Cross as a character. I was hoping for a bit more excitement but I am going to stick with the series.
