Many contenders for this but one is Kazuo Ishiguro, consistently fascinating and absorbing.

I can vouch for Baldacci and Coben. Also Ronie Kendig. I’ve yet to read anything from those 3 that I didn’t like.

Writing duo: Douglas Preston & Lincoln Childs with their Agent Pendergast series. Started with “The Relic” (made into a movie). “City of Endless Night” is #18. They don’t disappoint ! No relation ~ just a fan !

@Tiffany the way the question is asked it actually is. Which author
“consistently ” writes the best books

Tiffany

She consistently wrote the best books when she was alive ?. Think how awesome she was when it was still a huge struggle to publish under a female name
