Middlebrow fiction

If I like John Grisham and Scott Turow, who else will I like? I'm looking for some beach reading for my upcoming week at the Jersey shore.

No recommendation but what's your Jersey shore town of choice? These Jersey shore towns have some neat histories--maybe something on Lucy the elephant! Enjoy! Regards, Len :)

Do you like detective stories? The Felony & Mayhem Press (great name) has been reprinting classic English 'tecs in quantity, and I've seen quite a few of their paperbacks in the local Barnes & Noble. Here's their list, by author:

Margery Allingham, Edmund Crispin, and Ngaio Marsh are my favorites there. (Marsh was a New Zealander, actually.)

I ended up with "Caught" by Harlan Coben. Nothing deep, but a good read.
