Kiss the Girls? Along came a spider? Both were pretty successful movies? (There was also Alex Cross, which was a flop)
But Patterson is formulaic. If it's not your formula, you won't notice. Other cultural tributaries are the book aisles in your local Walgreens/CVS, which are overflowing with Patterson. But, again, if you're not in that audience, you won't see it.
And if your attitude is "I blank out on these kinds of books", your friends will know, and they won't bother to inform you. (Or they have told you once or twice, and you blanked, and they stopped).
There is so much media content out there that unless you happen to be interested in a particular niche, you can miss pretty large events.
Along Came a Spider if you like crime books. It's pretty decent. There's a movie with Morgan Freeman if you'd prefer to go that route.
