Nice list...

But you didn’t do justice for not adding the legendary author himself, the man whose many books have been made movies and still attained bestseller movie status...

Roll the drums for..................

Dan Brown

englishmart:
James Hardly Chase. Reading his Novels is like watching Hotel Mumbai or Skyscraper movie, etc.
I've read about 25 Hardly Chase's novels, Believed violent, we'll have a double funeral, and lots more. Detective Tom Lepski of 2nd grade....

Well, he's not of this century

vulture is a patients birth... Dead men tell no tale ... Chai old good days

Mystery/Suspense novels undoubtedly are the best kind of novels out there. I love crime/mystery books so much that I can’t go a week without reading at least 2. And just like everyone, I do have a list of writers I choose my reads from. In lieu of this, I've compiled a list of my Top 7 Crime/Suspense writers of the 21st century. Starting from bottom to the top

AwkaetitiBabe:
I love his Omerta. Very interesting book.

Ranchhoddas:
The Sicilian Code of Silence.

Puzo was a god.
Hope you read The Godfather?

CoolJul:
oh James Haley Chase. I read Believed Violent and I fell in love! Though it's not a 21st century book or but I can't help but mentioned him.

I'm exploring more of his books. I feel reluctant trying other authors( mystery/crime).

irrefragable:
Where is Stephen King in your list? You've not started reading books if you've not read Stephen king.

ekestic1976:


I started reading Hardley Chase novels in 1977 whilst studying for Higher School Certificate. My first novel was "Tiger by the Tail". By 1980, I had read going to 93 Chase novels both in Corgi and Panther editions. I also read Nick Carter, etc. The point I'm driving at is that our youths must be guided about the imperative of reading. The contemporary leaning on the internet, Nollywood and Hip Hop has no relevant and enduring values from which their futures can draw viable experiences.

Into the world of symbology. Iconography, religious conspiracies, dark meanings of arts, anagrams, cryptography, succinct description of architectural masterpieces, sanctum sancturum of The Vatican, secret societies and international organizations, science, the live of Prof Langdon... All box into a novel.

As ur reading, use Google, u ll notice dt Dan Brown is far less fictional.

No blame me I just ate "Da Vinci code" for the fifth time within 4 years.

AwkaetitiBabe:
Definitely. How can u be a Puzo Fan without reading Godfather?

joshima:
i actually haven't read the book though.. I've only read one from him "the family "

AwkaetitiBabe:
Never really connected with Stephen King writings. If he wrote Hannibal, that's the book of his I enjoyed.

irrefragable:
How many of his books have you read? I don't think he wrote any book like Hannibal. Read some of his books then come back and tell me how it is. I would recommend ' cujo' for you to start with.
