Critics Review

[Cross Country] opens with one of the most chilling murder scenes I’ve read in a long time … High-octane stuff

DAILY EXPRESS

It was absolutely fantastic … Cross Country has an amazing sense of speed, there’s a really brilliant tension in the plot … You’re just completely engrossed in it from start to finish … The story is unrelentingly exciting

THE SIMON MAYO SHOW, BBC Radio 5 Live

Heart-stopping, speed-charged, and electrifying, Cross Country is a stunning thriller from “the man who can’t miss.

TIME

It’s no mystery why James Patterson is the world’s most popular thriller writer: his uncanny skill in creating living, breathing characters we truly feel for and seamless, lightning-fast plots. I do this for a living, and he still manages to keep me guessing from the first to last page … Simply put: Nobody does it better.

JEFFERY DEAVER

Behind all the noise and the numbers, we shouldn’t forget that no one gets this big without amazing natural storytelling talent – which is what Jim has, in spades. The Alex Cross series proves it
