Synopsis

In a Cape Breton family of black sheep, Mary is pure as the driven snow. She is patient and kind with her alcoholic grandmother and volatile mother, loyal and attentive to her spoiled cousin, and pleasant and polite all day as a grocery cashier. Her well-­off aunt, the only other normal person in the family, wants to help her more, but Mary’s mother is too prickly and proud. So Mary goes to work, comes home, takes care of her family, and wonders if there’ll ever be more to life. When a young couple moves into the apartment upstairs, it sparks a series of changes that leads to major family revelations, and Mary discovers that sometimes doing the wrong thing is the exact right thing to do. Tender, authentic, and crackling with Lesley’s irrepressible humour, Mary, Mary is a book for anyone who’s ever had a family—good, bad, or a messy mix of both.

It's always a great time to be on another adventure with Alex Cross. Maybe not all of these books are the most remarkable books I have ever read, but there are all pretty fun to read. I loved the idea of this one and had fun guessing who the killer might be. It was fun to think about how the public......more

Goodreads review by Paul on June 30, 2024

James Patterson is back in form! Top females on Hollywood's A-list are being murdered in a particularly vicious manner. The details of each killing make it clear that the motives are entirely personal. After each killing (and in one case almost during the killing itself), the murderer sends an e-mail......more

3.25 Stars for Mary, Mary: Alex Cross #11 (audiobook) by James Patterson read by Peter Jay Fernandez, Melissa Leo and Michael Louis Wells. I liked the premise of the story but the writing felt a little clunky to me. I think I’ll wait a while before I revisit this series.......more
