by James Patterson
Critical Praise
Violets Are Blue
"As addictive as all of Patterson's books... you have no choice: you must read it."
-- Denver Rocky Mountain News

"Eerily believable... frightening... vintage Patterson, the latest in a series of thrillers featuring the eminently admirable and likable Detective Alex Cross... Keeps you guessing until the end… will keep Patterson readers in suspense until his next book. We can only hope it comes out soon."

-- Providence Sunday Journal

"As exciting as anything Patterson has written....The action reels around the country, from D.C. to California to Las Vegas to North Carolina, and readers will be swept away by it and by Patterson's expert mixing of Cross's professional and personal challenges. Is there a writer hotter than Patterson?"

-- Publishers Weekly

"Satisfyingly creepy."

-- San Francisco Chronicle

"BREATHLESS...certain to please his multitude of fans...a lot of fun to read."

-- Fort Worth Morning Star-Telegram

"If there really were human superheroes, Alex Cross would be at the head of the class...and, with each installment in the series, Patterson makes sure his superhero gets bigger and better while at the same time becoming more vulnerable."

-- New York Times

"A sparkling addition to a popular series....Like Patterson's other Cross novels, this one can suck readers in and…keep them guessing. Plot twists are seamlessly woven into a tight story. Patterson has created a challenge for Cross that's a nightmare worth watching."

-- Knoxville News-Sentinel

"Classic Patterson: fast-paced, gripping…a sure winner. As the two story lines begin to merge, Patterson's crisp narrative builds toward a shocking end.... For Patterson fans, another must-have installment."
