I like mysteries, a book that has suspence, something I will not want to put down after I've started reading it. One of my favorite authors is Steven King, Any suggestions?

Since you like Stephen King,you'll definitely like Dean Koontz.
The door to december by Dean Koontz.A psychiatrist's daughter was kidnapped by her ex-husband years ago. When the daughter is finally found, the real fight begins. One by one the people who held her captive become mysteriously tortured and killed. Everyone is afraid the young girl will be next.
The mystery unravels as to what happened to the young girl while she was kidnapped. The young girl, Melanie, is unable to speak, but her mother soon learns that the young girl went through extreme torture as her father used her for a rat in his experiments.
Read both Odd thomas,Forever odd and Brother Odd by Dean Koontz.These books are about Odd Thomas(Odd is really his first name) who sees dead people and is compelled to solve crimes.

Have a nice time reading.

If you really want a real good book and a mystery, then read James Patterson's Cross. Very Good book and one of his best to date. Rates up there with Kiss the Girls.

"The Codex" by Douglas Preston is a good adventure tale with lots of suspense. The follow up "Tyranasaur Canyon" is also excellent.
If you want something a little lighter, try Janet Evanovich's "Metro Girl" or her Stephanie Plum mysteries.
Right now I am reading "Treasure Of Khan" by Clive Cussler. Very good, but it is more of an aquired taste- part Indiana Jones, part James Bond, part Jaques Costeau. If you give his works a try, you will either love it or hate it.

Im reading one now called Tell No One by Harlan Coben. It's one of those that you can't put down. You want to know how it ends but you don't want it to end. It's one of the best mystery/thriller book I've read in awhile.

"Time and Again" by Jack Finney is a perfect book for you to read. The story has many mysteries that you would enjoy reading. It is also an interesting book that would make you read more and more till you finish it.

Did you try the Dan Brown's novels? They got me hooked from the first page to the last one.
