As an avid reader I am on the lookout for any authors/titles that are worth checking out...
I have just finished two books 'Redemption' by Wayne Sharrocks (a dark but occasionally humorous and sensual psychological tale) and 'Only In America' by Dominic Holland (a charming and witty tale about a screenwriter).

Thanx for suggestions...

Have tried Labyrinth by Kate Mosse (as big Dan Brown fan) but by comparison I found it very difficult to get into and the writing style quite amateurish-didn't grip me at all.
I like the sound of the third book you mentioned-definately worth checking out...

erhhhh dan brown ......i found him boring - you might like james herbert -once - a bit scary with fairies in it

for some reason i find novel written by women must easier to read -its strange

Only problem is they bring a new one out before there's been time to finish reading the old one.

The Liar by Stephen Fry. I think it's great.

They are not crapola! They have lots of gruesome scary bits. You should enjoy that, Bobo. Ninja

Stephen King books are excellent, found them preferable to James Herbert novels.
