I just finished 'The Innocent' by David Baldacci. It is gruesome sometimes, but I couldn't put it down. I like all kinds of fiction. Jodi Picoult used to be a favorite author. Then she had her son do some comic book type illustrations in one of the books. Total turn off. Now James Patterson is mentoring other authors, so his books say, "James Patterson & ...another author's name." So he's off my list. It's interesting to see all the variety on here of reading genres!
