I will recommend, a couple of authors for you starting with john grisham, Stephen king and of course Sydney Sheldon, grisham the king of the court suspense read him up and tell me what you think?! Sydney is the kind of catastrophe, come back for reviews.
Yeah I know of john grisham and I have read two of his books. Stephen king is another god to me, but Sydney Sheldon, I can't tell but am familiar with the name because a friend of my recommended it to me too but I haven't gotten them yet.
