5 Authors Who I Enjoyed More When Their 1st Novels Came Out

Sometimes I feel like big-name authors start churning out novels just to please their fans, and they aren't nearly as good or have as well-developed storylines as their earlier works. These are five authors (and one of their earlier books) who I enjoyed more when I read them way back when than their newer stuff:
  • John Grisham -- A Time to Kill
  • James Patterson -- Kiss the Girls
  • John Saul -- Suffer the Children
  • Mary Higgins Clark -- Where Are the Children
  • Karen Robards -- Dark of the Moon and also Desire in the Sun
If these are authors you enjoy, I encourage you to seek out some of their older novels!

Dark of the Moon - My favorite Karen Robards book.
