Jack & Jill

I don't know... I'm just not that into this kind of book. It's a good mystery book, yes, but I won't be too eager to repeat the experience.

Murder of children is disturbing. More disturbing when it is done by a 13-year old. Granted, the killer is a bit not right in the head, but still, it's disturbing.

Aside from the Truth Sojourner School killer, we have Jack and Jill. They're cold-blooded, ruthless, professional and determined. To kill the President of the United States. Before that, they decided to send some “messages” to the President and the Secret Service. The messages are sent through the high-profile people they killed.

Jack and Jill has come to The Hill
To kill, kill, kill...

Nice read. Only I don't really like the mystery towards the end.

Really enjoyed this book and didn't see the ending coming at all.

If you like fast-paced, nonstop thrills in your mysteries, this is the book for you. I felt like I had to stop and breathe every now and then; the plot twists, suspense, surprises, and sheer horror of the plot had me so mesmerized, I almost forgot to do so!
Like other Patterson novels, this one, the third in the Alex Cross series, features two parallel horrors, both of which involve the detective in a very personal way. First, a crazed killer is murdering young black children in Cross's own neighborhood, children from his own son's school. The sheer brutality of the murders bespeaks a rage that strikes terror in Cross's heart. But the Washington, D.C. powers that be don't seem to be overly concerned with the horrible happenings in the black neighborhood–they're much more involved with the high-profile, equally mysterious Jack and Jill murders that have captured all the headlines. Jack and Jill are assassins. The ending will keep you guessing which is nice for a change. Patterson seems to realize that a real thriller, like real life, doesnt have an ending with no loose strings. This book will keep you wanting more James Patterson and More of his hero Alex Cross.

I enjoyed how there were two stories running side by side. Jack and Jill and then the school child killer as well. I thought it had a decent ending with both stories. I was just waiting for Gary Sonegi to turn up somewhere so that phone call wasn't surprising.
