James Patterson/Laurell K Hamilton

Hello All - I've read most of the books written by James Patterson - they are the best. Some are Along Came A Spider - Kiss the Girls - When the Wind Blows. Anyway - he is wonderful. All of his books are fast reads and they keep you on the edge of your seat. I just love them. Well now that I've read most of them I'm kinda looking for a new Author. Patterson's books where mystery. Now I've always found vampires to be intriguing. I was wondering if anyone has read any books by Laurell K Hamilton?? If so, how are they?? Thanks a bunch Tanya

Try reading "Odd Thomas" by Dean Koontz. He's a great author, and this book was a fast, intriguing read. If you like medival mysteries, anything by Michael Palmer is good, also Tess Gerritson, then there is always Patricia Cornwell--her Kay Scarpetta books are excellent!

I also am waiting for her new Merry Gentry book. I went to the web site and read the first 2 chapters from the new book. Sounds like another good read. Yes, it is a bit risky, but a different take on fairies is good. lizzi

jeffrey deaver is an awesome writer. john sanford, too. laurell k. hamilton is good, but after a while it is like reading the same book, over & over. i got to the middle of one of her books, i read most of them & thought, i am soooooooooo tired of the same ole' same ole"!! to start out with the were great!! lol! bon

Hi, I just now found this board. I've read most of Patterson's books also. I think I've missed the last two. I really love the Alex Cross series. I think Morgan Freeman is perfect in the role. If you like vampires you should read Anne Rice. I didn't like the movie INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE, but I loved the book. I also like John Saul & Peter Straub. Robin Cook & Michael Palmer write great medical mysteries. I've never read Laurell Hamilton but I'll look her up. Now that I've discovered this board I'll be coming here a lot...Eve
