UNABRIDGED
AUDIO BOOK ON 7 CDs
This is a most interesting story since it
starts with a storyteller who states he is writing a story that
will be a blockbuster. However, he states he must live the moments,
and so he must commit murders in order to feel the emotions
of a killer. His first crime is a triple murder in New York
City, and, feeling successful, he returns to his hometown of
Los Angeles. Soon after, the entertainment columnist the Los
Angeles Times receives an email that is addressed to a Hollywood
producer. The message tells the female producer that she is
being killed because she is an unfit mother. The murder is described,
and the email is signed Mary Smith. To the columnist's horror,
the murder takes place exactly as the email message described
it. Three more murders of famous Hollywood celebrities take
place, and each is described in email from Mary Smith.
The LA police ask the FBI for
assistance, and Alex Cross (the protagonist of many of Patterson's
books) is sent to Los Angeles to assist. The story takes a
twist when Mary Smith is caught. Alex Cross uncovers a bizarre
story involving Mary that leads to a surprising ending. As
usual, James Patterson weaves a story that keeps you guessing
throughout.
The readers, Peter J. Fernandez, Michael Louis
Wells, and Melissa Leo, do a fine job of bringing life to
each character. Interaction among the three actors adds impact
to the audio book by suggesting danger and tension.
