James Patterson
(b.1947)James Patterson is the world’s bestselling author, best known for his many enduring fictional characters and series, including Alex Cross, the Women’s Murder Club, Michael Bennett, Maximum Ride, Middle School, I Funny, and Jacky Ha-Ha. Patterson’s writing career is characterized by a single mission: to prove to everyone, from children to adults, that there is no such thing as a person who “doesn’t like to read,” only people who haven’t found the right book. He’s given over a million books to schoolkids and over forty million dollars to support education, and endowed over five thousand college scholarships for teachers.

James Patterson recommends
California Bear (2024)
Duane Swierczynski
"Duane Swierczynski has written his best novel, and that's saying something. From the tragi-comic opening sentence to the heartrending final paragraph, California Bear is fresh, exciting, and brilliantly unpredictable. The Girl Detective will live in my heart forever."
The Quiet Tenant (2023)
Clémence Michallon
"Clémence Michallon has written a classic on her first try. The Quiet Tenant is a daring and completely satisfying mystery; a one-of-a-kind; a bravura feat of storytelling."
A Long Stretch of Bad Days (2023)
Mindy McGinnis
"If Edgar Allan Poe came back to write the scariest high school murder story ever, it probably wouldn't be half as good as Mindy McGinnis's The Initial Insult. You must read this book!"
The House Guest (2023)
Hank Phillippi Ryan
"THE HOUSE GUEST is great! Ryan creates memorable characters-then pulls off the nearly-impossible: she orchestrates half a dozen twists, turns, and backflips-and then sticks the landing. What a pleasure to read this!"
Everybody Knows (2023)
Jordan Harper
"Everybody Knows is the best mystery novel I've read in years...Jordan Harper writes sentences, and in this case an entire book, that is both terrifying and exhilarating."
The Other Side of Night (2022)
Adam Hamdy
"The Other Side of Night is like no crime novel I've ever read. The pages almost turn themselves and when I was finished I couldn't stop thinking about the story's incredible twists, turns, and surprises."
