1662951 The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett is a good and challenging book to read.. that I recommend to you...

1572236 While I've heard good things about Follett an I'm really looking forward to reading Pillars of the Earth I'm not sure it qualifes in this category - His first novel "Eye of the Needle" came out in 1978. And he has produced dozen's of books- I think this area is really for new unknown talent.

1340499 I think Sarah Pinborough qualifies here. She started writing in 2004. She has 5 books out so far. She writes horror novels for dorchestor publishing. I think her writing is amazing and she writes books of perfect length. The're not long enough to get boring and they don't end too fast. I highly recomend her books!

1662951 Sorry for that Robin.. Guess I need to understand more the topic next time I post comments. Mea culpa. Sometimes it's the price one has to pay when your so enthusiastic about a book you recommend to someone.

1394632 I'd recommend Lalita Tademy. She's only written two books that I know of, and both are great!
Cane River 2001
RedRiver 2007

1720662 You might like Secret of the Sands by Rai Aren.
Good thrillers by 'new' writers include Min's Monster by Lila Pinord, Sudden Death by Michael Balkind, and Soul Identity by Dennis Batchelder.

1479469 I recommend INTERRED WITH THEIR BONES by J. L. Carrell.

I read it last December and really liked it. It is her first book and was published in 2007.
