Product Description
From Amazon
While the death of an inner-city black child doesn't garner much media attention, another murder is making big headlines. The same day that Shanelle was beaten to death, Senator Daniel Fitzpatrick was found handcuffed to a bed and shot execution style. The only clue the police have to go on is a bizarre rhyme, signed "Jack and Jill," promising more high-profile executions, ultimately targeting the president of the United States. When Cross is called in to help protect the president, he begins to suspect that the two cases are somehow related. As he races to put all the pieces together, the killers continue their bloody rampage, paralyzing the city.
Like Along Came a Spider and Cat & Mouse, Jack & Jill is a rapid-fire thriller from start to finish, with enough plot twists to satisfy even the most jaded mystery fan. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Excellent read,

This review is from: Jack & Jill (Mass Market Paperback)
The Alex Cross series is phenomenal. James Patterson creates such dimensional characters, you really feel like you know them. Definitely one of my favorite authors. This series will keep you on the edge of your seat and begging for more. Highly recommend.

Descent begins,
By J R Zullo (São Paulo, Brazil) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jack & Jill (Mass Market Paperback)
Once again, Detective Alex Cross is the main character in another James Patterson book. As usual, the story is very fast-paced, with quick, short chapters. Patterson knows how to build tension and accomplish an efficient thriller. This time, Cross and his team have to face two simultaneous enemies: the first, a pair of loose-cannon killers, acting in the high-society and political circles in Washington, D.C.; the other, an insane killer murdering innocent children. "Jack and Jill" is not as good as the previous two books in the Cross series; although Alex Cross is less superhero-like and more humnan in this third installment, the two parallel stories are confusing, and Patterson was not able to create villains and minor characters as well developed as the ones he created in "Along came a spider" and "Kiss the girls". I understand that "Jack and Jill" is somewhat a milestone in the Alex Cross series. From now on, the books are really a step down the ladder. Grade 8.0/10

Good Read,
By Shane Gleason (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jack & Jill (Mass Market Paperback)
This is one of Patterson's best books I have read so far. The characters are well described and I feel I get to know them very well. But he uses characterers from previous books and it might be helpful to start reading his earlier books first. But it is of course not necessary. I don't read his books like that. The story is great as well. It was a real pageturner, keeping me in suspense from start to finish. I highly recommend this.
