What authors can you recommend?

i've been reading only recently for the past year and a half and i've been reading books mainly by James Patterson, James Rollins, Tess Gerritsen, Tami Hoag among others. i was wondering what other books/authors you would suggest. i definitley love reading the crime, fiction, mystery type books. i love going to the book store and i usually end up buying 2-3 books at a time, but usually by these authors. there have been times where i have bought books from different authors and sometimes, the book just ends up being a dud. which authors and what books do you suggest?What authors can you recommend?
Seeing as we like some similar stuff (Tami Hoag is one of my faves) I'd say check these authors out too:

Lisa Gardener

Karen Rose

Karin Slaughter

Lee Child (Jack Reacher series)

Faye Kellerman

Jonathan Kellerman

Patricia Cornwell

John Connolly

David Baldacci

Harlan Coben
I suggest John Grisham, my brother says his books are really really good.What authors can you recommend?
Philipp Vandenberg , he has a lot of books

Michael White , Equinox

Dan Brown , you know

John Grisham

John Sack

John Saul

Agatha Christie

These are some ... it`s up to you to find more. I personaly enjoyed them
Jennifer Rardin is good Her series isabout a Cia agent [assassin] Jaz aka Jasmine Parks who works with her 291 year old vampire boss to stop a Plastic surgeon named Mohamed Khad Abn- Assan who is working with the bad guys[ sons of paradise]. Assan is making money from charity partys to help dis figured children but instead he is using the money to change the people [sons of paradise] by doing surgery on members in the organization who cant afford to look like there most wanted posters anymore. ( Jaz Parks series by Jennifer Rardin also jaz's boss is a vampire) GOOD SERIESWhat authors can you recommend?
Based on what you're reading, I'd say maybe John Sandford or Sue Grafton, or maybe Janet Evanovich for something on the lighter side of crime/mystery. I'm not a big fan of the genre, but there are a couple of very good series I've read that run in those veins, but lean a little towards fantasy - they introduce some supernatural elements in a modern mystery setting. Try the Harry Dresden Chronicles by Jim Butcher and the Repairman Jack books by F. Paul Wilson.
JD Robb

Dean Koontz
if you like crime stories, try all of TOM CLANCY books, they're great. here's more to check out. KAY HOOPER, OR W.E.B. GRIFFIN.

I just finished Steve Berry's The Alexandria Link. It was a fun read. I would also recommend some books of Clive Cussler. You may find them interesting.
I think I like different kinds of books but here goes - Denise Mina (I just started reading her -- kind of noir maybe beige is the better word, in Scotland, Irish working class deeply Catholic immigrant and the protagonist comes from that class but is very ambitious); Reginald Hill; Sarah Peretsky; Laura Lippman; Nevada Barr, Sandra Parshall (a guppie - has very good book out).

I even like older writers - Dorothy Sayers or Margery Allingham - but even I have to admit the writing is dated.

P.D. James and Ruth Rendall - more recent but I'm listening to a James book and its very good as far as mystery but I'm thinking the language is a little dated and of course very class conscious (I guess that's more of a British thing).
