News
The Real Book Spy gave THE PRICE YOU PAY a rave review, including this: “Petrie, a strong writer who always finds ways to keep his series fresh, continues to do a fantastic job with his cast of characters…[He] avoids classic and overdone tropes, opting instead to build his characters in a smart and useful way. They’re all relatable, too, for different reasons, and longtime fans who’ve seen these families and friendships grow over multiple books will be especially upset to see them threatened…Petrie delivers great action served up alongside a hearty plot that, much like the snowstorm earlier in the story, only grows bigger and more unrelenting with each passing chapter. Think Lee Child meets C.J. Box, and you’ve got The Price You Pay, a high-powered adventure dipped in action rolled in a mystery. Peter Ash is a great hero, and Nick Petrie is one heckuva storyteller-if you’re not reading him, start.”
I spent a few minutes talking with WTMJ’s The Morning Blend about THE PRICE YOU PAY and why I love readers – click here to watch!
Publisher’s Weekly reviews THE PRICE YOU PAY: “High-octane…Petrie nimbly combines small-unit action with cyber-sleuthing (courtesy of Peter’s partner, reporter June Cassidy) and rarely takes his foot off the gas during the narrative’s 400-plus pages. Adrenaline junkies will be in heaven”
Kirkus reviews THE PRICE YOU PAY: “The eighth danger-dripping crime thriller featuring Peter Ash….”
Best Thriller Books reviews THE PRICE YOU PAY: “Emotional and dark with heart-stopping action, THE PRICE YOU PAY packs a powerful punch you’ll feel in your bones. A book that will create early buzz and be talked about as one of the best books of 2024.”
Booklist reviews THE PRICE YOU PAY: “Petrie shows off his action-writing chops with a series of vivid, remarkably clear firefights and, in between, pauses to recover.”
