James Patterson is one of the best-selling authors in the world, thanks to his incredible array of thriller, detective, science fiction and romance novels. While it can be difficult to pick out a single best series from his dozens of titles, many readers have cited the Alex Cross, Maximum Ride and Women’s Murder Club series as some of his best-known works.

Alex Cross Series: This influential series of novels follows the character Alex Cross, a criminal psychologist and one of the most popular characters in Patterson’s work. The first novel, Along Came a Spider, was published in 1993 and was followed by twenty-three more installments, including Pop Goes The Weasel, Violets Are Blue and Cross Justice.
Maximum Ride Series: This is a science fiction spin-off of the Alex Cross series that centers on the life of Maximum Ride, a human-avian hybrid who, along with six other adoptive “siblings”, must save the world from evil forces. It has proven to be wildly popular with young-adult readers, with nine novels released as of now. The latest, Nevermore, was released in 2016.
Women’s Murder Club Series: This series revolves around four women in the San Francisco police department, who use their unique skills to solve various murder cases. The novels, including 1st to Die, The 2nd Chair and The 6th Target, have become quintessential works of the detective genre, and are beloved by Patterson fans.

Any reader looking for great James Patterson novels should look no further than these three series. They feature Patterson’s signature style of nail-biting, fast-paced plots, unique characters and unpredictable twists.
