Critics Review

Smart characters, shocking twists… you count down to the very last page to discover what will happen next

Lisa Gardner

I couldn’t turn the pages quick enough. Great plot, fantastic storytelling and character that spring off the page – all the right ingredients for a thriller

Heidi Perks

Terrific, high-octane, really pacy… every scene is a film – every character real, and every plot point leaves us breathless

Jo Spain

Patterson knows where our deepest fears are buried… there’s no stopping his imagination

New York Times Book Review

A writer with an unusual skill at thriller plotting

The Guardian

Patterson is in a class by himself

Vanity Fair

No one gets this big without natural storytelling talent – which is what Jim has, in spades

Lee Child

James Patterson is the boss. End of.

Ian Rankin

Patterson boils a scene down to a single, telling detail, the element that defines a character or moves a plot along. It’s what fires off the movie projector in the reader’s mind
