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.

They All Fall Down (2019)
Rachel Howzell Hall
"The twists start from page one and never let up--dramatic, thrilling and even compulsive."
A Trick of Light (2019)
(Stan Lee's Alliances, book 1)
Stan Lee and Kat Rosenfield
"Leave it to Stan Lee to save his very best for last. A Trick of Light is as heartfelt and emotional as it is original and exciting. What a movie this one will make."
False Assurances (2020)
(Ben Porter, book 1)
Christopher Rosow
"A thoroughly riveting two-novel debut introducing a compelling new hero."
High Treason (2020)
(Tom Locke, book 3)
Sean McFate
"McFate just might be the next Tom Clancy, only I think he's even better... The action is non-stop and shuttles back and forth between scary-believable and rollicking good fun. I read High Treason during a six-hour plane ride and the trip went by like the snap of my fingers."
Out of Time (2020)
David Klass
"Out of Time is a provocative, important and very thrilling novel. I loved it. I savoured the pages."
An Inconvenient Woman (2020)
Stéphanie Buelens

(City of Ghosts, book 1)
Ben Creed
"Reminded me of Gorky Park, only I liked this tense, complex thriller even better."
The Sentinel (2020)
(Jack Reacher, book 25)
Andrew Child and Lee Child
"One of the many great things about Jack Reacher is that he’s larger than life while remaining relatable and believable. The Sentinel shows that two Childs are even better than one."
The Initial Insult (2021)
(Initial Insult, book 1)
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!"

Michael Koryta
"In this complex, surprising, and totally satisfying suspense novel, all of the moving parts, every character, every scene leads to one of the best showdowns I've read in years."
Sleeping Bear (2021)

"Sleeping Bear is one of the very best thrillers you’ll read this year. It’s one of those rare novels that keeps getting better and better and better. Remember the author’s name—Connor Sullivan."
Denial (2021)
Beverley McLachlin
"An authoritative, emotionally satisfying, deliciously complex mystery in courtroom drama. I devoured it from the first pages to the surprising finale."

Alias Emma (2022)
(Alias Emma, book 1)
Ava Glass
"Alias Emma is one of those wonderful thrillers you read in a day and know you'll remember for years. Emma Makepeace is a worthy heir to the James Bond mantle."
