Our view
“Mary, Mary” is a quick, suspenseful eleventh outing for Alex Cross, aimed at readers who follow his private life as closely as his cases. Some readers admire how James Patterson balances suspense with Cross’s personal story; others find that his custody battle and work-life worries crowd out the investigation until the final third.
