I have read almost all of James Patterson's books--"Cat and Mouse"; "Jack and Jilll"; "Four Blind Mice"; "Kiss the Girls"; "The Big Bad Wolf"; etc. . . What are some other really good mystery wriiters and books?
Its gotta be good like Patterson's books are--easy to read, not too wordy and interesting, also not vulgar. Just a genuine good book by a good writer.
Let me know, as I am thirsty for another good mystery.

Michael Crichton is always good. Currently reading his Timeline.
And yes, I like reading Patterson for his good storylines and story pacing.

Kay Hooper has some supernatural/suspense books out. They are very good and easy to read.
Janet Evanovich is also one of my favorites. Mystery books but very light and funny
Dean Koontz is my favorite of all times. Some are a little like Steven King, but not as weird. Just finished "The Husband" very good book.
Happy reading!!!!

Nelson DeMille - "The Generals Daughter", "Charm School" He's kind of mystery suspense.
Lillian Jackson Braun and the "Cat Who...." series. They are very easy to read and entertaining.
Susan Witting Albert - Her's are a lot of fun
Janet Evanovich's series - "One...
Rita Mae Brown
Sue Grafton - "A is for series
I could go on forever

I'm not sure about mysteries, but I have some fantasy suggestions. King Fortis the Brave, Harry Potter, Eragon and Chronicles of Narnia are all great!

Read "the violet closet " by Gary gottesfeld its a really good book!!! also "Unforgivable" by Tina Wainscott but that book falls under mystery/romance ... I recommend the first one definitely but the second one is also very good.

Try any of the Spenser novels by Robert B Parker. They are all fast reads and enetertaining.
