A good introduction to the gospel of Mark.
I. Howard Marshall provides a good introduction and overview to the gospel of Mark. Whilst he doesn't do any deep exegesis of the text, he highlights key ideas and issues of scholarship that are important to be aware of, e.g., the extended ending of the gospel Mark. This book is an excellent supplement to one's devotional reading of the gospel of Mark.
