I love Patricia Cornwell, Sue Grafton, Kathy Reichs, John Saul and Stephen king books. Do you know of any other authors I might enjoy? I usually read mystery, thriller and horror.

Try reading a book/novel written by Villiers de L'Isle-Adam.
E.A.Poe might be a good choice too! ;)
Also Bram Stoker`s "Dracula" kept me without sleep for a few nights *LOL*

I like books with great well developed characters I can relate to.
Currently I am reading Slaughter House Five:
It is a 1969 novel by best-selling author Kurt Vonnegut. One of his most popular works and widely regarded as a classic; it combines science fiction elements with an analysis of the human condition from an uncommon perspective, using time travel as a plot device and the bombing of Dresden in World War II, the aftermath of which Vonnegut witnessed, as a starting point.
When the book was released, the bombing of Dresden was not widely known and was rarely discussed by veterans and historians. The book led to an increased awareness of the bombings and a reevaluation of the justifications given for aerial bombing of cities by the Allies during the war.
Here are some other favorites:
1. The Wold According to Garp by John Irving
2. Fire Starter by Stephen King
3. Mona Lisa Overdrive by William Gibson
4.The Stand by Stephen King
5. Jurassic Park by Michael Cricton
6. The Language of God by Francis S. Collins
7. Moby Dick by Herman Melville
8. Enders Game by Orson Scott Card
9. Blue Beard by Kurt Vonnegut
10. Sideways by Rex Pickett

Well its not mystery, thriller, or horror, but it is a great book. Well actually it is a series of book. I think the Blueford Series books are great and you should try them out for a change. I've only read two but my favorite so far was Brothers In Arms.

I'm on same page as you when it comes to the categories of books (horror, thriller, etc). I love a good Stephen King book! But, one thing that I don't like is a war story...however, I read a marvelous book that keeps you going the whole way through...It's called : The Things They Carry by: Tim O'Brien....
Like, I said, I HATE war stories, but for some reason, this book is different...I highly recommend that you at least check it out!

Dean Koontz is a great writer, anything by him is wonderful try these for good page turners:
Lightning
By the Light of the Moon
Intensity
Also Dan Brown raises some questions...
I'm sure you've heard of The Da Vinci Code but his other novels are wonderful as well:
Digital Fortress
and he has two more that are great.
Have Fun!

Richard Laymon has several good books; I would classify them as thriller or horror.
Also, I've enjoyed reading the Mrs. Murphy series by Rita Mae Brown.

I have to agree with KC and recommend Dean Koontz he is one of my favourite authors, try rea ding The Watchers or Phantoms they are very good!
I'll also recommend a great English author called James Herbert his book Once involves fantasy and horror and is one of my favourite all time fiction pieces, just be warned it is fairly sexually explicit!

Agatha Christie books are good, though I haven't read all of them. I especially like The Moving Finger. Also, Endless Night is interesting if you like strange twists (the beginning of the book doesn't even seem like a mystery, but then...)
