I've actually read a few of these books and several of these authors.

Michael Connelly...read him. Just don't remember the book.

Janet Evanovich...I think these books are hilarious. Completely silly and slap stick, but I've read every single one.

Ann Rule...I've read many of her books, including the one you listed about Ted Bundy.

Dan Brown...I've read all his books and really enjoyed them. Angels & Demons is my favorite, I think.

F. Paul Wilson...it seems like I read one of his books that you recommended, in fact. About vampires? Is that right or am I thinking of somebody else?

Dean Koontz...who hasn't read him? LOL

Lee Child...I've read some of his books, just can't remember which ones.

I've read The Ghost Story by Peter Straub...in fact, I own it in hardback. Damn good story.
