He's become more of a businessman than an author. The name "James Patterson" on a book cover doesn't mean he wrote it anymore. It's really more of a brand, and he's got a factory of young MFAs 'collaborating' with him to churn out twenty books a year.

It's really the only way to make gobs of money in today's society: stand on the necks of stupid people.

You should read The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry. Finished it this morning and it's schmaltzy as hell but if you're in the right place it's great. The book even says at one point that sometimes you just find books at the right time in your life.

Has anyone read "Whirligig" by Magnus Macintyre? Doesdn't seem very promising so far. Just wonder if it's worth the time

Really loved the first book in this series. And this second one is also outstanding so far. I'm less than 100 pages in but holy shit.

I've been meaning to look at that one for years. The ghostwriter/co-writer is a guy named W.C. Heinz, who wrote one of my favorite novels: The Professional, which is about a boxer.
