    I enjoy the way Harlan Coben writes. I've also read quite a bit of Baldacci, so maybe great minds think alike?
    "For I am a sinner in the hands of an angry God. Bloody Mary, full of vodka, blessed are you among cocktails. Pray for me now and at the hour of my death, which I hope is soon. Amen." - Sterling Archer

    "Don't spray that urine on my sons window. If you want a dollar for doing nothing, walk to Canada." - Malory Archer

    “Anyone who thinks the pen is mightier than the sword has not been stabbed with both.” - Lemony Snicket

    Ditto for Coben. Just be careful to read the Myron Bolitar series in order.

    I just finished Dark Matter. Excellent book that keeps you thinking when it is over.

    If you like Grisham, you'll like Phillip Margolin too. He also writes courtroom dramas, but there tends to be more murder mystery events thrown in too. I've read about five of his earliest novels, and enjoyed them for the most part. Think Grisham lite, without the character depth, but still an exciting plot.
