Read The Firm by John Grisham. Super fun. And The Taking by Dean Koontz. And my picks of Stephen King would be Carrie, The Talisman, or The Tommyknockers. Happy reading.

Answer 3

Envy by Sandra Brown
A manuscript from someone identified only as P.M.E. compels New York book editor Maris Matherly-Reed to find the author. She locates the aloof Parker Evans on a remote Georgia island. Maris is drawn to his tale of two young friends and a deadly betrayal, but its chilling connection to her own life leads her to delve into the truth about a similar decades-old crime.

I really loved this book.

Answer 4

Yeah Try THE FLY ON THE WALL by Tony Hillerman, lots of his books are suspense ones, fast to read, catches you in the act and keeps you on the pages all night.

Answer 5

If you like Dean Koontz get his new book, "The Husband." I don't know what its about but it sounds interesting.

Answer 6

Pretty much any of John Grisham's novels fall into that category. I've read almost all of them and i would recommend them all, except for maybe "the Painted House" which i believe is the most recent one. It was decent, but definetly not as interesting as some of his others.

Answer 7

I like the books you mentioned, and I guess you like books that are a bit unpredictable, with a good story. I think you will like most books by John Irving, I would recommend: "A prayer for Owen Meany"

Also check out the book : "Slaughterhouse five" by Kurt vonnegut.

Answer 8

i would reccomend you read the partyroom trilogy by morgan burke...the three books are get it started, after hours, and last call...they are really good books...i seriously didnt want to put the book down...it is a mystery about a murder and it is really suspenseful with a little bit of romance and horror on the side...

Answer 9

House of Secrets by Lowell Cauffiel

Eddie Lee Sexton is evil incarnate. Like Charles Manson, he exercised a cult-like mind control over others who did his dirty work. But unlike Manson, both Sexton's victims and his subjects were his very own flesh and blood." As strong as they are, these words from an assistant district attorney barely hint at the depravity hidden for years within the Sexton family. Strange notions about "Futuretrons" and hand markings that convey absolute power, revelations of incest and physical abuse, bodies buried in the camping area of a Florida state park-- House of Secrets has so many layers of weirdness that it will amaze even seasoned readers of true crime. Lowell Cauffiel has a talent for combining quotations from interviews and unembellished facts into prose that reads like a novel. Two people are dead, and the children who suffered the cruel fate of being born into the Sexton family may never completely heal from their injuries--but at least their story has been told!

Seldom in the annals of modern true crime has a father exerted such a depraved influence on his children. Eddie Lee Sexton's control was so total that he was actually able to order his kids to commit cold-blooded murder. On an October night in 1993, at one of the campgrounds dotting Florida's Gulf Coast, Sexton told his daughter Pixie to silence her crying baby. It seems almost inconceivable, but the young mother obediently smothered her helpless eight-month-old infant son. Two days later, the tiny corpse - a rattle in his hand and a pacifier in his mouth - was stuffed inside a gym bag and buried in a shallow grave, just a few feet from the family's campsite. Less than a month later, the Sexton patriarch would issue another homicidal command. To stop the dead baby's father, Joel Good, from going to the authorities, Eddie Lee ordered son Willie to strangle the bereaved dad during a family picnic. Pixie, so under her father's thumb that she had already committed infanticide, reportedly helped cover up husband Joel's murder. Sexton was priming his third victim when the FBI and Florida cops finally caught up with him. After the ensuing investigation sparked a six-hour standoff with local cops, Sexton took his family on the run. When it was finally over, he and other members of the Sexton clan would be linked with crimes ranging from fraud, arson, extortion, and armed robbery, to conspiracy, child abuse, incest, and murder. By early 1995, Sexton would be sitting on death row, waiting for a date with Florida's electric chair.
