Robert Ludlum and Allan Folsom who wrote 5 great books, including “The Day After To-morrow”, not to be confused with the film of the same name. I would highly recommend any of his books.
Am I right Danielle Steel passed away in the middle of a book and the rest was written by another author? I seem to remember one book and subsequent books being “off”?
My choices are Reginald Hill, Ed McBain & Donald E Westlake
Sydney Shedon
Sidney Sheldon
Umberto Eco
Stieg Larsson
Oh yes good call
Mine is a historical romance author, Kathleen E. Woodiwiss.
Sidney Sheldon and Stieg Larsson
Tom Sharpe. A very funny and talented writer.
I’m sure a lot of people will also miss Terry Pratchett
I was just going to say Pratchett. The excitement of waiting for his new books..
I also miss Elmore Leonard
P.D.James.
Oh, yes! And Ruth Rendell
Ed McBain 🙁 so much
Richard Laymon. Had his entire collection.
This is a bit bittersweet. We are sad to have lost these really talented people but feel good because their books were in our lives.
Graham Joyce is another author that I miss.
