I went to my Library, and I got a bookmark that says: "If you like Tom Clancy, you'll enjoy: Dale Brown, Jack Higgens, Jow Weber, Stephen Coonts, Larry Bond."
I was wondering if the educated souls here could enlighten me as to what a bookmark that started "If you like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, you'll enjoy:..." would finish with?
In other words, what other authors are comparable to Doyle?

Doyle also wrote supernatural stories, The stories of Brigadier Gerard, and The White Company. All of which he would rather have been remembered for than Holmes, believe it or not.
I only know this because Julia is a rabid Doyle fan.

I was actually wanting lesser known authors, and if I didn't specify it at first, I was looking for the mystery genre.
But, I've come across many interesting articles on the internet, and I'll check them out soon.

mystery Genre then ok well I reccomend James Patterson, Along Came a Spider, Kiss the Girls, Jack and Jill, Cat and Mouse, and Pop Goes the Weasel, anything by David Baldacci but preferebly Absolute Power, mabey a John Grishim Novel (I actually haven't read him) or if you want funny mysteries then try out Douglas Adams Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.

James Patterson's pretty good, I think. I started one of his novels, but never finished it.
PS-This is going to sound really anal-retentive of me, but, Gepta001, 'Maybe' is spelled 'ye'.

I meant individual pronunciations of the Y and the E.

Didn't Arthur Conan Doyle admit that he based Sherlock Holmes on Edgar Allen Poe's detective stories?

What kind of liberation would that be to forsake an absurdity which is logical and coherent and to embrace one which is illogical and incoherent?
