I myself liked Cross Country by James Patterson so if you haven't got a chance to read that book then I recommend it. I also enjoyed reading The Quickie by James Patterson as well. They are both good books, and best of all, James Patterson is a fast read. Honeymoon is also a good book if you haven't read it, we haven't read it personally but know people who have, and said it was a good book.

whats good about his books is that he keeps you interested from beginning till the end, he writes about every other or third chapter on what the bad guy is doing and thinking.

Yes a lot of the chapters are centered on what's on the bad guys mind and then others are centered on the investigators or the victims. It does keep you on the edge of your seat, lol, and his chapters go by so fast that it's always a fun read.

He's a special agent in the CIA and blends in with the Arabs, but there are plots in the USA that he stops, his name is Mitch Rapp, and he's bad to the bone! LOL! It's very entertaining, the kind you don't want to put down once you start! T----

I like James Patterson books. I have only read the Alex Cross series (which includes Jack & Jill). Have you read the rest of the Alex Cross series? The whole series is good, if you haven't then you should. I want to start on the Women's Murder Club series (which I think 1st to Die might be the first one of) so it's good to hear that it's good.

I've read just about all of his books and they are great. I'm now reading Vince Flynn he has about 6 or 7 books and they are good and current with the times. You should start with the first one and go from there as the story is on going! Really check him out you won't be sorry! tdemex

Yes I am a fan! I really love his books. I think I have read most of them. Womens murder club being my favorite! They are so easy to read and go so fast. I have a hard time putting them down once I start. Just finished 6th Target. Really good. NYgal They are murder mystery and quick reading. They have the womens murder club as a show on TV. Ive just started reading double cross and when I got to page 72 there are loads of pages missing, I know I was given the book but come on now Im really peed off as I have got to go and buy it so I can finish it!

I love the Alex Cross books. Not the recent ones, however.

I have either read or listened to the audio of several James Patterson books. I just finished listening to a book by a different author, Douglas Kennedy. His book "The Big Picture", is a murder mystery with a different twist. Most mysteries have a slightly similar plot, but this one is different. I won't say more to keep from spoiling it for someone else.

I enjoyed the whole series of the Alex Cross books by JAmes Patterson but found the earlier ones much better with more depth than the latter ones. The books seemed to get shorter as the series progressed which I think must have had something to do with pressure to produce more Alex Cross books. I must say that his other books haven't really gripped me in the same way though.

Jonathan Kellerman is similar, another thriller writer, but I think much better. might be worth a try
