Critic reviews

"James delivers the ... plot twists and intriguing characterizations that made The Pawn a welcome addition to the suspense genre." ( Publishers Weekly)

Good, not as Good as The Pawn

I loved the Pawn so much and this was a suitable sequel but not as good. There weren't any major gripe another than that way the narrator pronounced "rook" for every character. It drove me crazy. I love his narration aside from that one complaint. I'm excited to go through the rest of the series.

Alex Cross w\o all the sex & language.

If you love James Patterson's crime novels but not the body details, graphic sex or foul language, you'll love this series.

Exciting but spiritually anemic

This book held my attention well but I expected more of a spiritual uplift from an inspirational publisher.

I wasn't overly thrilled with the male narrator's attempt at female voices.. Everything else was great

Another Intense Thriller!

I really enjoyed this book, just as much as the first. It drew me in right away. The narrator did a fine job, but I have to agree that his female voices aren't that great. But that didn't take away from the story! I recommend this series to anyone looking for a top-notch cop thriller!
