Blowback – James Patterson and Brendan DuBois

February 12, 2023 Josh Olds Comments Off on Blowback – James Patterson and Brendan DuBois

James Patterson has written a lot of crap in his career. Blowback is not one of those books. The Trump presidency and the January 6th insurrection has left the country a lot to consider when […]

Gwendy’s Final Task (The Button Box #3) – Stephen King and Richard Chizmar

February 12, 2023 Josh Olds Comments Off on Gwendy’s Final Task (The Button Box #3) – Stephen King and Richard Chizmar

Gwendy’s Button Box was a bit of an outlier for Stephen King in that he co-wrote it—not something he typically does—but it was otherwise vintage King. Young child? Check. Mysterious stranger? Check. A parable about […]

Four Blind Mice (Alex Cross #8) – James Patterson

January 20, 2023 Josh Olds Comments Off on Four Blind Mice (Alex Cross #8) – James Patterson

Alex Cross returns! In what, by now, is an expected annual adventure, Cross is about to hang it all up and resign from the Washington DC Police Force when John Sampson lures him back for […]

Fiction

Violets are Blue (Alex Cross #7) – James Patterson

January 19, 2023 Josh Olds Comments Off on Violets are Blue (Alex Cross #7) – James Patterson

Violets are Blue puts aside some of the relational melodrama for a second and instead puts all the focus on a weird, macabre set of killers who seem more animal than human. It’s over-the-top, but […]

Fiction

Suzanne’s Diary for Nicholas – James Patterson

January 18, 2023 Josh Olds Comments Off on Suzanne’s Diary for Nicholas – James Patterson

The success of the Alex Cross novels allowed James Patterson to experiment. His previous non-Cross novel, When the Wind Blows, was a sci-fi, the non-Cross novel that followed this one—The Jester—was historical fiction. This one […]

Roses are Red (Alex Cross #6) – James Patterson

January 17, 2023 Josh Olds Comments Off on Roses are Red (Alex Cross #6) – James Patterson

It’s Alex Cross vs. The Mastermind. Roses are Red is Alex Cross’s sixth adventure and he’s up against the cleverest killer he’s faced yet. There’s also a lot of personal fallout from the events of […]

When the Wind Blows – James Patterson

January 15, 2023 Josh Olds Comments Off on When the Wind Blows – James Patterson

In a major departure from James Patterson’s previous work, When the Wind Blows is a sci-fi thriller that thrives on the fantastical. The story is about Frannie O’Neill, a young veterinarian, trying to grieve the […]

Fiction

Hide and Seek – James Patterson

January 13, 2023 Josh Olds Comments Off on Hide and Seek – James Patterson

Hide and Seek was James Patterson’s first non-Alex Cross novel after finding fame with Among Came a Spider in 1994. (Just look at how prominent his name is on this first edition cover!) After two […]

Fiction

Jack and Jill (Alex Cross #3) – James Patterson

January 12, 2023 Josh Olds Comments Off on Jack and Jill (Alex Cross #3) – James Patterson

Even though the first two Alex Cross books were the ones turned into movies starring Morgan Freeman, it’s the third Alex Cross novel—Jack and Jill—that’s most deserving. Two killers (you can surmise what they call […]

Fiction

Kiss the Girls (Alex Cross #2) – James Patterson

January 11, 2023 Josh Olds Comments Off on Kiss the Girls (Alex Cross #2) – James Patterson

Two years after Along Came a Spider put James Patterson on the map, he returned to the world of Alex Cross for a thriller featuring double the killers—Casanova and The Gentleman Caller. Killings are happening […]
