Novak Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Hello I've been (and still is) a great fan of books written by James Hadley Chase but unfortunately i recently finished the last one and, literally knowing them all by heart thus not finding any sense in reading them again (for now), decided to pick up a different author. I checked a couple books of relatively random authors i again randomly picked from the web basing on some books description and reviews (last one was Dark Passage by David Goodis) but honestly found them unintersting due to lack of attention to small details of the plot and enviroment ( like well made description of the area where the actions of the current novel take place or simply lack of details of any character appearance). After books of Chase where every character was alive due to great description of character, feelings, fate and history - everything after i checked was really boring alright, like you reading something about someone who has no face. Its really difficult to explain why i found the books of Chase to be superior to all those i read afterwards. Please suggest me any authors which are more or less similat to works of Chase? With twisting plot, murders, gansgsters, or similar. P.S. Do not suggest Chandler and Hammet to me pls, i know and read them alright. They are great too.

Janet Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 This is what Literature Map comes up with. The closer they are to the named author in the centre, the more alike they (allegedly) are. I haven't read your author so I don't know how reliable those suggestions are, but it might give you a few ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
