  <default_description>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 Hollywoods A-list fear theyre next on Marys 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 Pattersons most sophisticated thriller yet.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[From a blog post I wrote in 2006:<br/><br/>Mary, Mary is the latest Alex Cross novel from James Patterson, one of my favorite authors. Carol loaned me her copy ages ago and I read it right away. Have I returned it yet? Nope. Despite having seen Carol or Moose a dozen times since then, I can't seem...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/9441464">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Great book!. Mary,Mary is a thriller with spicy characters. Being book no.11 from the Alex Cross series you really shouldn't expect something completely different. However, I think James Patterson is a very talented writter and give us a whole new adventure in every book. <br/>Having a rainy day an...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/58343160">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I really liked this book! I've gotten pretty tired of the Alex Cross novels, but I gave this one a go and I'm glad I did. Alex Cross's personal life really doesn't interest me. At all. And this book didn't have too much of it, just Cross solving heinous crimes like only he can.<br/><br/>Once I got...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/55072794">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I am going to sound like a broken record but I can't help it. I love all of James Patterson books and love the Alex Cross character in them. This book was fast paced and full of murder and suspense and a great ending. Unfortunately I read the books out of order and I knew who the murderer was but ev...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/54447194">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[    I think this is the 4th Alex Cross novel that I have read by Patterson.  I continue to enjoy the series.  I really like Patterson's writing style and format.  The short chapters written from the different perspectives allows the reader to feel the story progress for the killer and for Croxx.

    <body><![CDATA[I can sum up this book up in one word: Eh  Mary Mary starts off interesting with the murders of Hollywood’s A-List celebrities, but quickly focuses too much on Alex Cross’ life. I love some of James Patterson’s early works, but now it just feels like he does not put any effort into his writing...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/66413363">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was a good book full of twists and turns and the killer is someone u would never expect infact they arrest the wrong person who has ties to the killer. I enjoy this read and would read it again if I want a book that I just can't put down. I recommend this book if u like mystery and murder it ha...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/67309920">more...</a>]]></body>
