James Hadley Chase novels are so interestin, this guy can write! But, for mi, il give it up to the late Mario Puzo, author of The Godfather, The Fortunate Pilgrim, The Last Don etc...

Ken Follet!! Other than the third twin which was kind of out of the norm, I think, the dude has a way of drawing the scenes in very vivid details and even though he might be writing about some old cathedrals with no puzzles to crack along the way, the story is still captivating from start to finish.

Mario Puzo's Godfather and Robert Ludlum's Holcroft Covenant are unputdownable.

well for me i must, say since I came across Dan Browns' 'digital fortress' and then later came across 'Angels & demons' i have been hooked to his literally prowess like never before. Though surprisingly enough I felt the movie 'da vinci code' was a let down to the book.

Spanner in the works time: Clearly there are no King enthusiasts here. We all have who we love and read vigourously and that may not be the same author. In defence of my hero,m check this out http://www.stephenking.com/awards.html, Directors and producers have also added how hard it is to adapt a stephen king story into a movie due to how linear his books can be and hence reason the mostly adopt the short stories. Anyone who did not love ShawShank Redemption should be shot, The shinning is considered to be still one of teh most eerie films ever made and the list goes on. In recent news, JJ Abrams bought rights for The dark tower series and guess for how much... 19 dollars. Gj, what did you think of Lost Symbol by Dan Brown?

Am surprised nobody has mentioned Sidney Sheldon and his unputdownable THE BLOODLINE, THE OTHER SIDE OF MIDNIGHT nad MEMORIES OF MIDNIGHT.
IF YOU EXPECT ME TO POST ANYTHING POSITIVE ABOUT ASENO, YOU MAY AS WELL SIT ON A PIN

@Mel... I still haven't been able to put my hands on it, but from the reviews I've seen on http://www.danbrown.com/#/theLostSymbol/reviews its seems to be another hit..

Can see some kindred spirits here. To those already mentioned as possible contenders, add Harold Robbins, Frederick Forsyth & Nelson DeMille.
