23rd Midnight

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

Lee Child

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

Michael Connelly

James Patterson is the boss. End of.

Ian Rankin

Patterson knows where our deepest fears are buried... there's no stopping his imagination

New York Times Book Review

Patterson is in a class by himself

Vanity Fair

A writer with an unusual skill at thriller plotting

The Guardian

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
