Who is a good mystery writer?

My next plan, is to get back to reading.  Found out how much a good mystery  could be.

 

Appreciate the suggestions.

David Baldacci. My favorite by far. His books start out good, not slow, and they keep you hooked. There are continuing series also. Especially loved Will Robie and Atlee Pine series. But they are not all series. But I can't recommend this author enough. Someone I know turned me on to him years ago.

Stuart Woods' Stone Barrington series is a fun read.

I stumbled upon Ruth Ware when I was searching for some books on Amazon.  I bought 3 of them and have read 2 so far.   Saving the 3rd one to take on vacation.  I enjoyed the first 2 very much.
