[Cross Country] opens with one of the most chilling murder scenes I've read in a long time ... High-octane stuff
*Daily Express*

It was absolutely fantastic ... Cross Country has an amazing sense of speed, there's a really brilliant tension in the plot ... You're just completely engrossed in it from start to finish ... The story is unrelentingly exciting
