The Los Angeles Times has called Paul 'the closest equivalent of Joe Wambaugh yet,' and stated Hot Pursuit 'could hardly be better.' The New York Times proclaimed him a 'first-class writer,' and called Deep Water a 'lively, bloody adventure.' Publishers' Weekly cited Croaker: Kill Me Again, as 'gripping, intense, labyrinthine, complex, and compelling.'
