Recommended Author James Patterson

I saw some James Patterson novels on the shelf at a local bookstore and started to read the back covers. I recalled the name of a series about a detective called Alex Cross and seemed to remember good things being said. I managed to buy the first three there and then. They were simply un-put-down-able and I quickly read through the first three in the series. These need to be read in order really as the characters, particularly in his family, grow with the novels.

 

Unfortunately for me, I was unable to get the next six novels in print form in Doha, Qatar and I paid a small fortune to have them shipped from the UK. However since that time I have discovered Kindle and this has alleviated that little problem.

I have now read all of the Alex Cross novels and they are generally excellent and I would thoroughly recommend them.

 

I have also read the series of novels featuring the detective Michael Bennett, the cop with ten children. They also feature his private life that is as compelling as the thriller/mysteries are too. You want to know about his life, children and home. Again, I can thoroughly recommend these novels too.

 

James Patterson also has many other standalone novels that are generally of a high standard too and worth reading. He now tends to write with other authors or appears to lend his name to novels but these too are of a high standard and I have enjoyed reading these too. I have a number of these on my "to read" shelf!

James Patterson is not one of the world's bestselling authors for nothing so if you haven't read any of his novels then you should do. Right now!!!
