I agree. I was a big John Grisham fan until his last book, it was so rubbish I can’t even remember what it was called! Same with Lee Child and James Pattinson, their latest books are so formulaic. They’ve had their day and a nice juicy pay packet, they should just retire with grace.Rereading The Pelican Brief.
It confirms my opinion that Grisham's recent output isn't half as good. Seems to happen to a lot of previously great authors.
Not read any of those authors, but have found the same with Jo Nesbro, and Ian Rankin.I agree.

Shame about Rankin, I had a lot of respect for him. I've only read one Nesbo, my mum likes his books but I wasn't impressed.Not read any of those authors, but have found the same with Jo Nesbro, and Ian Rankin.
Lee Child passed the writing baton to his brother which might explain the recent drop in quality.I agree.
