Amazon.com
A child killer is stalking the inner city of Washington, D.C., his latest victim Shanelle Green, an adorable first grader from Sojourner Truth School. This killing is especially unsettling to Detective Alex Cross. Sojourner Truth is the school his son Damon attends, just four blocks from his home.
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. -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.
From Booklist
Patterson once again keeps the reader's stomach queasy in his latest graphic "nursery rhyme." Returning as protagonist is African American psychologist-turned-detective Alex Cross, who adores his two young kids and his wise, wisecracking grandmother--his source of stability since his wife died. Alex is troubled when a young child is murdered near the school his son attends and frightened when the murderer strikes again. On the other side of town, away from the scary inner-city D.C. streets, a pair of killers who call themselves Jack and Jill are terrorizing the movers and shakers by murdering a series of high-profile people. At each killing, Jack and Jill leave sick rhymes implying that a certain resident of Pennsylvania Avenue is the ultimate target. (It is no coincidence that the murdering duo's moniker is the Secret Service's code name for the president and the First Lady.) When Alex is summoned to help protect the president, who has made powerful enemies by rebuffing business-as-usual politics, Alex is torn between his duty to protect his deteriorating neighborhood and his duty to his country. He belongs with his family, he believes, but the "powers that be" know that he is a master at negotiating with serial killers. A fast-paced, electric story that is utterly believable. Mary Frances Wilkens

I really enjoyed the book Jack and Jill. The book kept you in suspense the whole time you were reading it. I think this is one of James Patterson's greatest books that he has written so far and I am a BIG James Patterson reader. If you like books that keep you in suspense and challenge you to become one of the detectives then I think you would enjoy reading this book. Also if you decide to read this book and you enjoy it, I would also reccomend reading Kiss the Girls, Cat and Mouse, or Pop Goes the Weasel.

I read Kiss the Girls and was so caught up in that I couldn't put it down. Maybe that is the cause for my mild disappointment in Jack and Jill. It was suspensful and had an interesting plot but it just wasn't the page turner that I had been expecting. Don't get me wrong, once I got into it it was hard to put down, the only problem was that it took me about the first third of the book to do so. Patterson still does a good job with detective Alex Cross' character and he also still writes in short chapters, which make even the not so exciting parts quick to get through. Overall, I guess I would recommend this book if you like Patterson and have the patience to wait for the expected excitment.
