Some of my favorites that may (or may not) have been mentioned:

Daniel Palmer

Michael Palmer

Harlan Coben

Nelson DeMille (especially the John Corey books)

Laura Lippman

Greg Hurwitz

Andrew Gross

There are many others but these popped into my mind. 

Oh I love having our Book Club back!!!

Not mystery per se, but John Lescroart is a good writer.  He's written a number of novels about his character, Dismas Hardy, a San Francisco attorney, and all the people in his life.  The are more detective/courtroom novels, with appealing characters.  I went through a period where I was waiting eagerly to start the next as soon as I'd finished the last.

I highly recommend Peter Swanson; Girl With A Clock For A Heart & his newest, The Kind Worth Killing; John Hart, Iron House & his others are fabulous reads!  I also am a huge Greg Iles fan & every one of his books are outstanding.

Definitely The Twelve Lives of Samuel Hawley by Hannah Tinti. 

I finished it yesterday and it's been living in my mind. 

Please check it out; it's a coming-of-age novel plus the story of her father who holds many secrets of his past. 

I couldn't read it fast enough!

Wendi Corsi Staub

Kevin Obrien

Erica Spindler

Carlene Thompson

Carla Cassidy(be careful with hers, some of earlier novels are Harlequin Romances, but her later novels are thrillers, and very good!).

Peter Swanson

Mary Kubica

Andrew E. Kaufmann

Joseph Finder

stand-alones and Nick Heller series

William Landay's

Defending Jacob

@insomniac et al, I LOVE Tana French.  One Saturday morning I went to our local bookstore and an employee recommended Tana French.  I have read all of her books and perk up every time I see a new one.  Enjoy!  LM

I really enjoy David Baldacci, The Camel Club series.  About five books. 

I also enjoy reading some authors like Euginia Price The Savannah series (civil war time period) who are no longer with us. 

She did other series at the beginning of our country and the troubles with England ect.......

Both series quite different than the other.

@beckyb1012 -  I don't think I was ever aware of David Baldacci when he first began. For some reason, either they didn't appeal to me, or they just passed me by. 

Now I can't get enough of them. I'm loving his newest books, and have read a few of his older ones as well. I have a lot more to read, including The Camel Club series, so I'll be good to go for quite a while. Plus, there probably won't be a wait to get his older ones on my Kindle from my library. 

He's become one of my favorite authors!

So many authors so little time...

You can always pick a book on Amazon and they will show similiar books.   Or just search mystery books.

Books I don't think have been mentioned:

Lauren Carr may fit the bill, but they are only ebooks on Amazon.

Dennis LeHane

Nelson Demille

Charlotte MacLeod

I also enjoyed Dorothy Sayer's Peter Wimsey Mysteries.  

The first few books have some racism comments and the style of writing is very different from modern day writing but these were written in the 20's.

The funniest part of these books were complaints about life that are still true today.  Not a lot, but they were hilarious to see written so long ago.
