BankyGee: I give it to James Hardely Chase, not that we don't have equally good or probably better writers now but just because he could do it over and over again. Out of over 200 books written under the name of harley chase and over 30 under the name of Raymond Marshal (I have personally read over 150 of his books) only a few you can say don't really whao you, the rest are bombshells. So, give it to James Hardley Chase. It is difficult to pick the best out of all his books, but if I must pick I will go for "Want to Stay Alive"? Mention must be made of people like Jefferry Archer, Wilbur Smith and Ken Follett. (For the record, my personal best novel of all times still remains Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follet) 4 Likes 2 Shares |

ajebuter: Usually hide to read Jackie Collins then (couldn't afford to let my sisters catch me reading their books not to talk of one with those kind of vivid contents). For the Jefferey Archer, you need to complete the series, the next one after Prodigal daughter is "Shall we tell the president?" Jefferey Archer is a story teller, his short stories too are solid. My best from him so far is still "Not a penny more, not a penny less" I can also go for "honor among thieves" 2 Likes 1 Share |

Sirheny007: Have you read the ficticious "Bury him like a hero" which everybody talks about yet no one has read? The supposed final act between Mark Girland and his KGB enemy/friend Malik |

mhalosky: For me, choosing a favourite author isn't possible but if I were to suggest, the following are favourites; Janet Evanovich (for humour and thriller) Michael Crichton (for Sci-fi) Sidney Sheldon (thriller) Dan Brown (history, mystery, religious conspiracy, thriller) B. A Paris (marriage mystery, psychological thtiller) Markus Zusak (Life lessons) Chuck Palahniuk (Novels that speak to u, if u know what I mean, nice tone to his writing style, very unique) Agatha Christie (hardcore mystery novels) Jeffrey Archer Don Winslow Stieg Larsson (I'll recommend Millennium Series) Ken Follett (very much underappreciated) Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie Leye Adenle (Nigerians write crime fiction too) D.O Fagunwa Michael Dobbs (author of House of Cards Trilogy) Angie Thomas (writes about racism against Blacks) Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (mystery, crime fiction, creator of Sherlock Holmes; even Chase gave props) Sue Grafton (alphabetical series) Maeve Binchy Peter Swanson Elnathan John Adrian McKinty (I'll suggest The Chain; fine novel) Amos Tutuola Buchi Emecheta (arguably Africa's greatest female author) And of course, all the Heinemann African series writers, whose books seem to be unavailable anywhere online. 3 Likes |

soojar: Strictly for Cash remains my best. Where that boxer dude ran off with a girl that had this big shot gambling husband who died in a car accident. I read my first JHC novel Knock Knock Who’s there at 9. Since then I’ve loved James Hadley Chase. That guy never ceases to blow my mind!!! |

soojar: ![]() ![]() ![]() I have not. I think fanatic readers may have invented that title given the success of the Mark Girland/Malik novels because I know "Bury him like a Hero" is not on record as a book by James Hardley Chase. It is at best 'Fictitious' as you have said ![]() But the title is consistent with a typical James Hardley Chase book. 1 Like |

Nobody has mentioned Mario Puzo For me, my favorites are The master storyteller Chinua Achebe Paul Coelho Chimamanda Adichie Mario Puzo. l used to think nobody does thrillers better than Mario Puzo,. The verdict here is on Hedley Chase. l will definitely check him out. |
