I'll definitely check those out. I think my dh just read Lian Hearn. I'm not positive, but that sounds like the book he finished. I picked up Jack Higgins' On Dangerous Ground, which does have Sean Dillon. :) Thanks May! I’ll definitely check those out. I think my dh just read Lian Hearn.

LOL. With Jack Higgins, I strongly suggest starting with one of the Sean Dillon books. I think Thunderpoint is the first one.

I think she's going to continue to keep the romance to a minimum as she moves into full on suspense. It seems like her writing is going through an evolution. Cece, My mom loves Lisa Gardner.

Kinda turned me off a bit but she's still an auto-buy =) Lisa Gardner is an auto-buy for me….her newer books are *very* light on romance (IMO about 85/15 with suspense on the heavy side) but the last one was *very* heavy on research detail.

I'll check out Dana Stabenow. For now, I'm going to stay away from the romance for a while...other than in my writing. ;-) Thanks Jan! I’ll check out Dana Stabenow.

I thought her Bong Cold was especially good. Dana Stabenow has two mystery series set in Alaska. Her Kate Shugat series is loaded with action--I haven't been able to pinpoint the bad guy in her stories yet. Lisa Gardner writes edge-of-the-seat suspense, too. Her The Third Victim has stuck with me for a long time. Erica Spindler writes chilling RS. I thought her Bong Cold was especially good. Dana Stabenow has two mystery series set in Alaska.
