Jax just finished that Harlan Coben and can def say that the 1st 1 I read wasn't a 1 off good book. He is good.
Another couple are Mark Billingham and Stephen Leather

back to fantasy try J V Jones and Mercedes Lackey for more on the light side.

Managed to find a couple of authors from here to add to my read list. Ta

I have read Kate Mosse Labrynth and just recently purchased Sepulchre, I loved her first book.


and Cat...I read all of Tess Gerritson's books

I buy all my books in the charity shops or car boot sales.

Another book I couldn't put down was William Napier's Attilla, very well written and loved it.

Hi Jax :-)

Only skim read so don't know if anyone else has suggested these. James Patterson he does the women's murder club and Alex Cross as well as a few stand alone book. Tess Gerittson is another good one.

A good author who isn't in the genres you mentioned is Jodi Picoult, she tackles some very sensitive subjects and makes you think. I think one of her books 'My Sister's Keeper' has been made into a film.

Hi ya

Have you read the Kate Mosse books, Labyrinth & Sepulchre? If you like Dan Brown then am sure you will enjoy these if you haven't already.
For a good genealogy type story I would recommend Kate Morton's The Forgotten Garden (set in Cornwalll, London & Oz). She also wrote The House at Riverton which I enjoyed too.

Best wishes

Kaz

I've never been able to read The Hobbit, but another 'oldie' that I (surprisingly) could read was the Gormenghast Trilogy by Mervyn Peake.
This consists of (amazingly ) 3 books - Titus Groan, Gormenghast and Titus Alone.
