by James Patterson
Critical Praise
Cross
"Even as the story whips by with incredible speed, Patterson manages to pack it full of suspense, emotion, and a resolution that while perfectly satisfying carries the author's trademark teaser hinting at the ‘more' that surely will come."
-- Booklist

"You will find it difficult to putting Cross down; James Patterson breaks up his 400 page novel into deliciously short chapters that lead you from one exciting scene right into the next one. Cross proves once again why Patterson is one of the world's leading authors, with his works published in nearly forty languages around the world."

"Cross's competence and vulnerability make a stark contrast with Sullivan's sadistic mutilations and psychological manipulations of his victims…[which] may be the ultimate in lunatic deadliness."

-- Publishers Weekly

"Smart and straightforward, it builds interest and momentum in short, tight chapters that captivate, creating an addictive read."

-- TheMysterySite.com

"I'm glad to say that Patterson is once again writing as well as he did when he first introduced this series."

-- ReviewingTheEvidence.com

"In Cross, James Patterson combines a poignant replay of the events leading up to Maria Cross's death and Alex's continuing grief and inability to move on, with a psychopath's perspective on events, regular surprises, and touches of humor (you have to laugh at the assassination auction) into his usual winning combination. This episode - which solved a cold case that has haunted the series from the beginning - is sure to delight fans and leave them wondering what's up with the call from a killer that leaves us - and Alex - hanging at the end."

-- Bookloons

"He's b-a-a-a-c-k. James Patterson, that is, with another adventure which, consistent with his expansive list of previous bestsellers, is an emotional page-turning rollercoaster from start to finish."

-- Curled Up With A Good Book

"As always, make sure you've got some time blocked out before you start this one. You'll find yourself reading compulsively from the first page."

-- CA Reviews

"Another great one from James Patterson. Hold onto your seat!"
