When Does The Next James Patterson book come out?
The next book by James Patterson is The House of Cross and will be released on November, 25th 2024. It is the newest book in the Alex Cross Series.
Can’t stand it I love him so much! Buf my faves are the NYPD series. Being a New Yorker they definitely are the best to me. But EVERYTHING’S he’s penned is BEYOND fabulous. He is a truly outstanding author. There was & never will be another James.
I could never wait for new releases of James Patterson books that is until they started to be ‘co authored’…seems he outlines the books then passes them on to be written by someone else.
The base is still there but something is missing so not really a Patterson book and no longer as enjoyable so given up on buying them…i doubt I’m the only one of his very appreciative fans that have done so.
