5. I've read a lot of James Patterson books over the decades

Series I like are:

Alex Cross
Women's Murder Club
Michael Bennett
NYPD Red
Harriet Blue
Bill Harney
2 Sisters Detective Agency
Doc Savage

I've read all the books that have been published in the above series. So far, so good. The last 4 on my list are actually my favorites. None of them have many books in the series, which I think is a shame. His oldest series have been going on too long to suit me. That doesn't stop me from reading them, though.

If you get his books from a library, give him another chance. Not all series appeal to everyone. I don't like the ones I don't read. One or two I'll give another chance when I'm in the mood.

Eruption is a book I haven't read. Now that you've recommended it, I will. Thanks.
