I also like Patricia Cornwell, but don't particularly care for her Kay Scarpetta line - read Body Farm and was grossed out. I like James Patterson. I've not read a John Sandford book yet, but I have a few waiting for me. Looking forward to reading them.Diegosmom34 wrote:I enjoy Lee child books also.

1- The Straw Men
2- The Upright Man
3- Blood of Angels
Marshall writes under his full name Michael Marshall Smith for his SF novels (also quite good) and under Michael Marshall for his suspense thrillers.
The Straw Men trilogy is unique in my estimation, quite unlike anything you may have read in the modern thriller genre. Stevie King gave it a big thumbs up, by the way.
The Straw Men is set in modern day America (Marshall, although British, has lived in the US off and on for years). The story is adult (crime violence and language) and is an amazing combination of murder mystery with deepwater conspiracy as background. The narrative is compelling and superbly written, providing a vivid portrait of modern America, its virtues and flaws.
Anyone else know the Straw Men trilogy?

funny romantic and some awesome adventures. A fashionista puts her hand in P.I. work. Just imagine what that amounts to.
Love the author, i have read a couple series she has written.
