The book I could not put down until I had finished it was 'can you keep a secret' by Sophie Kinsella. I started reading it in bed with my book light. The battery eventually ran out and I got up and went downstairs to finish the rest. I have enjoyed lots of books before and since, but have never done that again

Dissolution by CJ Sansom was the most recent 'unputdownable' I read

Only once for me, too. Jaws by Peter Benchley (long before the movie) ...

Stephen King "Dumas Key". Read it in one day. Scary, sad and amusing.

'The Secret History' by Donna Tartt. Was so engrossed by each of the character's stories, I almost felt as though I was there! Have read it three more times since and each time is just an unputdownable!

'Shall we tell the President' by Jeffrey Archer - I just couldn't put it down. Read it in one morning some years ago. Felt myself projected into the heart of the story.

I received this hilarious note from a reader about my debut thriller Switch: "Still reading Switch while walking, I went off to use the toilet, engrossed, didn't want to put the book down...and PEED ON THE CLOSED TOILET LID. - Switch by Grant McKenzie. Buy your copy and pee on a toilet lid today!"
Now that's unputdownable ;-)
Cheers,
Grant McKenzie

Both books by Carlos Ruiz Zafon - amazing twists 'n' turns.....

Also agree with N.Brett about David Gemmill....I eat each one for breakfast.......have you tried James Barclay by the way? Just as good.....

Yep, quite a few actually. All the Sophie Kinsella's (apart from Twenties Girl and Remember Me?, which I didn't like); Chocolat by Joanne Harris and Mummy said the F Word by Fiona Gibson. I urge anyone who has not read these books to try them, now!

The first book I remember reading in one go as an adult was Excellent Women by Barbara Pym. I borrowed it from the library on a Saturday afternoon, and remember going home, lying on the bed and just reading it from cover to cover. I enjoyed it so much, and it left me with a lifelong love of Pym's novels.
