2ND CHANCE
“PRIME PATTERSON: FIRST RATE ENTERTAINMENT. Patterson’s richest, most engaging novel since When the Wind Blows. THE STORY RIPPLES WITH TWISTS AND REMARKABLY STRONG SCENES…. But what makes this Patterson stand out above all is the textured storytelling arising from its focus on Boxer’s personal issues.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“RE-ESTABLISHES PATTERSON AS ONE OF THE TOP MYSTERY-THRILLER WRITERS IN THE GAME TODAY. 2ND CHANCE IS A FIRST-RATE THRILLER.”
—Grand Rapids Press
“PATTERSON AT HIS BREEZY BEST.”
—Fort Worth Star-Telegram
“A SOLIDLY ENGINEERED WHODUNIT. BOTTOM LINE: WORTH CHANCING.”
—People
PRAISE FOR
JAMES PATTERSON’S THRILLERS
1ST TO DIE
“TERRIFIC… A GREAT THRILLER…. What’s not to love about a ‘club’ formed by four women to catch a psycho killing newlywed couples?”
—Providence Sunday Journal
“I CAN’T BELIEVE HOW GOOD PATTERSON IS…. HE’S ALWAYS ON THE MARK.”
—Larry King, USA Today
“PATTERSON BOILS A SCENE DOWN TO THE 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, author of City of Bones
“HIS CLEVER TWISTS AND AFFECTING SUBPLOTS KEEP THE PAGES FLYING.”
—People (Page-Turner of the Week)
“DELIVERS A SHARP PUNCH.”
—Chicago Tribune
“THAT RAPID-FIRE, IN-YOUR-FACE, YOU’D-BETTER-KEEP-READING-OR-ELSE FORMAT WILL MAKE YOU FINISH 1ST TO DIE IN ONE SITTING (barring World War III, a 9.1 earthquake or the Ebola virus).”
—Denver Rocky Mountain News
“PATTERSON KNOWS WHERE OUR DEEPEST FEARS ARE BURIED…. THERE’S NO STOPPING HIS IMAGINATION.”
—New York Times Book Review
“Patterson’s prose style is smart… powering the plot along smoothly…. Works to keep readers glued tight right to the end. A WALLOPING GOOD RIDE.”
—Buffalo News
“[A] NEAT TRICK OF AN ENDING.”
—Janet Maslin, New York Times
“A clever plot with enough LAST-MINUTE REVELATIONS TO KEEP YOU GUESSING.”
—Entertainment Weekly
“JAMES PATTERSON WRITES HIS THRILLERS AS IF HE WERE BUILDING ROLLER COASTERS. He grounds the stories with a bare-bones plot, then builds them over the top and tries to throw readers for a loop a few times along the way.”
—Associated Press
“A SLICK, TAUT THRILLER…. Patterson keeps the pace moving at top speed. 1St TO DIE is a darn good book.”
—Orlando Sentinel
“A good story with a murderer as twisted as any Patterson has created—and AN ENDING THAT WILL TAKE READERS BY SURPRISE.”
—Newark Star-Ledger
“POLISHED, BRISKLY WRITTEN ENTERTAINMENT… DELIVERS THE SPINE-TINGLING GOODS.”
—Sunday Oregonian
“A SURE BET FOR A BESTSELLER.”
—Cleveland Plain Dealer
“HE’S DONE IT AGAIN…. CLEVER KICKOFF TO A NEW SERIES… A GLEAMING MACHINE OF A NOVEL…. Patterson… isn’t afraid to reach as a writer.”
—Publishers Weekly
“If you want to—gasp—scare yourself silly, GRAB JAMES PATTERSON’S LATEST THRILLER.”
—Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel
“PATTERSON, WHO FIRST HOOKED CRIME-THRILLER FANS WITH HIS SERIES OF ALEX CROSS NOVELS, DOESN’T MISS A BEAT. The plot moves at breakneck speed…. Patterson manages a fine balance… and he keeps the reader guessing right up to a scary double-twist ending.”
—Memphis Commercial Appeal
