I looked at Amazon and these were the top sellers:
1. No Second Chance - Harlan Coben
2. The Know ~ Martina Cole
3.The Long Walk ~Stephen King
4. The Face ~Dean Koontz
5. Any other suggestions - please add, lets get this bookclub off the ground!

I am not in favour of Stephen King and his kind of books at all. (movies too for that matter.) Too disturbing for my liking.
Bearing in mind I can't swim more than 100m from the shore because of seeing Jaws!!!

I got one by her...I think it was called Pip. It was a lovely book!
I love those chick-lit books....Marian Keyes, Jill Mansell, Wendy Holden. Good, light reads!
