About this audiobook

Available as an unabridged audiobook for the first time in a brand new recording. In the middle of the night, a controversial U.S. senator is found murdered in bed in his Georgetown pied-a-terre. The police turn up only one clue: a mysterious rhyme signed "Jack and Jill" promising that this is just the beginning. Jack and Jill are out to get the rich and famous, and they will stop at nothing until their fiendish plan is carried out.

Meanwhile, Washington, D. C., homicide detective Alex Cross is called to a murder scene only blocks from his house, far from the corridors of power where he spends his days. The victim: a beautiful little girl, savagely beaten--and desposited in front of the elementary school Cross's son, Damon, attends.

Could there be a connection between the two murders? As Cross tries to put the pieces together, the killer- or killers - strike again. And again. No one in Washington is safe - not children, not politicians, not even the President of the United States. Only Alex Cross has the skills and the courage to crack the case-but will he discover the truth in time?

A relentless roller coaster of heart-pounding suspense and jolting plot twists, Jack and Jill proves that no one can write a more compelling thriller than James Patterson-the master of the nonstop nightmare.

Ratings and reviews

I don't understand how so many people rated this book so highly. It literally didn't come together. *Spoilers* The book is about a killer couple Jack and Jill who are going to attempt and succeeded to kill the president. Except the two killers with that go by Jack and Jill are not the ones who killed the president. They magically get fall guys to do it and it's never explained how. "Jack and Jill" convinced two other people to help them contract to kill the president. And then they are just killed in prison so Patterson doesn't have to try and actually try and give any explanation of how or why. His other books have come together nicely but this one is all over the place and it's a "mystery" except the only mystery is why so many people enjoyed this book.

Very intense! Lots of twists and turns. You do not expect. A great weed

pretty good 👍
