Gosh!!..it was a long time ago..I use to get mine from my sister that resides in UK

I have the whole collection..like the Famous Five ..Secret Seven etc..Later on, I graduated to reading books by Agatha Christie..I prefer the the character "Hercule Poirot" better than Sherlock Holmes.
My mum gave our whole collection out when we became adults.
My kids have to read those Enid Blyton books when they are young.

I have read it. But OP asked for just 5 novels. Do you know that some Freemason phrase used In lost symbols are wrong? Example, "Is there any help for the widows son". That's not the correct way of saying it.

A Rage against Heaven by Fred Mustard Stewart is the best novel ever written. I still stand to be corrected. My other recommendations are:
The Doomsday Conspiracy by Sidney Sheldon.
A Prisoner of Birth by Jeffrey Archer.
The Winner by David Baldacci.
Chances by Jackie Collins.
