Review of Jack & Jill (Alex Cross)

A controversial U.S. Senator is found murdered in his Georgetown bed. On the other side of town, a beautiful little girl is found dead, savagely beaten. Washington, D.C. homicide detective Alex Cross is brought in to try to find a connection between the two murders--even as the killer strikes again. No one in Washington is safe--not children, not politicians, not even the President of the United States. Cross has impressive skills and the courage to match, but can he discover the truth in time?.

Comments for Jack & Jill (Alex Cross)

  • Posted on 2010-02-11
    Jack & Jill came to Capitol Hill...

    I am not much of a critic but I will give it a shot. It was interesting, not an edge of your seat type of thriller, but it kept a good pace. You know from the beginning who the killers are, but not really what their driving force is. So it keeps you trying to figure that out.
    This was only my second Alex Cross book. I have 3 more now to read but I am not a speedy reader. It takes me a couple of weeks to get through a book with a full time job, online schooling with lots of homework, a home, husband and cats etc... But I definitely found time to read this book. It was interesting and hard to put down. I would read at night when I went to bed until I literally fell asleep and the book slipped from my hands. I give it 3 stars as it was interesting, but I have a lot more of James Patterson's books to read. One can't give them all 5 stars.

    Wasn't as impressed with this outing

    I am a huge fan of Along Came a Spider... and Kiss the Girls. I usually read this series at least once a year. Going through it, I found myself flying through the first two books. Yet for some reason, when I hit this book, it just never grabbed me. While Patterson is never really known from actually dropping enough hints for you to actually solve the crime yourself for a good "I KNEW IT!" moment, there are usually decent lead ins on multiple read throughs. With this book, it just felt off.
    Both plot lines just seemed to have been half an idea each, and with the interweaving, all it did was prevent each plot line from being developed in the proper Cross fashion. The ending to me was disappointing. Everything just suddenly gives you this "Oh wait, forgot about this.." feeling in the last 10-15 ish pages.
    I haven't bought any new Cross Novels since after Big Bad Wolf. I have to say that seeing the reviews for this one being so high, and London Bridges being so low (along with Cross Country), that I feel I made a wise decision. I will probably get the rest soon, just to have something new to read, but I think 17 novels in such a short time (Series started in 1993) is more about rushing the product rather than creating a quality product.

    Lots of Kindle Typos

    The book was excellent but the kindle version has lots of typos which made it frustrating at times to read.

    Jack & Jill

    Another great James Patterson novel in the Alex Cross series. I do not think there is a more intriguing character than Cross. I have read several, but not always in order, which limits the enjoyment. Would recommend any of the Alex Cross series. A spell binder. [...]

    mediocre story

    As far as murder mystery type stories like this one, I consider Jack and Jill to be well below average. Not unreadablely bad, but just thoroughly mediocre. The killers are not very interesting, and their motivations are never really clear. There is a strange side-plot about a jouvenille killer, which doesn't seem to add much to the story. And then there is Alex Cross, who seems to solve this one on pure luck. Not a very compelling story at all.

    The audiobook is average or better in terms of production values. The reader is pretty good, and they have some nice variety of voices and sounds etc. But nothing really stood out. Perhaps the cast had trouble getting excited about this dreary story just like the rest of us did.
