Books suggestion needed

External Since: Sep 03, 2004 Posts: 2

I have started to check out audio book from library and listen to on the
way to work. So far I checked out 3 Grisham books. I liked them in this
order:

Runaway Jury - very much
The Firm - Very much
The Client - It was OK

Given this, what other books and authors I should try. I like suspense
and mystery books. Spy books are fine too.

Thanks.

Grisham's far from my favorite, but if you like him you might want to try
Crichton. Forsyth is another great thrill of a read: if you like the crime
solving angle, try _The Negotiator_ or _The Day of the Jackal_ first.
Lindsey Davis' historical detective novels, the Marcus Didius Falco series,
are a treat (who can resist a title like _One Virgin Too Many_? And _Last
Act in Palmyra_, in which the protagonist passes himself off as a playwright
in order to investigate a troupe of actors and ends up writing an ancient
Roman version of _Hamlet_ which he calls _The Spook Who Spoke_, is an
enormously fun read. He thinks the play's [the thing] a masterpiece,
everybody else thinks it's the stupidest plot idea they've ever heard.)
Happy reading/listening! - htd
