The three books that kept me guessing were all by Jeffery Deaver. He is without a doubt the best writer ever. I read at least one book per day and sometimes more, especially if they are really interesting. I have spent the last five years handicapped. When I am housebound because there is too much snow for my scooter, I read twice as much.
The Stone Monkey, The Coffin Dancer and The Bone Collector are just three of his books in which I had it all figured out who the killer was (so I thought and I am usually right with other authors) but was wrong in all three cases. In one, I knew who it was and was in the right spot for the killer but had the wrong man entirely.
Sue Grafton, Mary Higgins Clark and Patricia Cornwell are my other favorites. Needless to say, I have not found anyone that comes close to the talent Jeffery Deaver has.

Although he was not on your list and as a person who reads up to 35+ books a year, allow me to recommend John Case. His two books, The First Horseman and The Genesis Code, had me guessing and racing for the end! I also really enjoyed Jackdaws by Ken Follett.

Most of James Patterson's are fantastic, especially Alex Cross.
Sue Grafton's Alphabet series.
J. A. Jance is my third favorite --- very good and I enjoy her two characters, Beaumont and Joanna Brady

The book that stands out most in my mind is Valentine by Tom Savage. This is one of the best books I have ever read and I would highly recommend it. I judge how good a book is by how well I can remember it, and I read this book along time ago and I still can't get over how it ended.

Nelson DeMille's The Talbot Odyssey had me guessing right up until the last page of the book. I believe it was one of his best books so far.

Valentine by Tom Savage. The first book I threw across the room in anger at the end.
Zero at the Bone by Mary Willis Walker. Great descriptions; you can actually see what she's describing and can reach out and touch the bars on cages and animal fur.
All That Remains by Patricia Cornwell. One of her better ones.

One novel that belongs in your suspense/thriller discussion isBeyond Conception by L.J. Sellers. I couldn't put it down. The characters were very compelling too. I don't know if the author has written anything else, but I highly recommend this novel.

Jeffery Deaver's The Coffin Dancer was one of the best books I have read in a long time. The twists and turns were very exciting and unexpected. I can't remember another book that I enjoyed so much.

I would have to say that Janet Evanovich's Two for the Dough kept me guessing until the end. I wondered, would Stephanie Plum capture Kenny Mancuso before he murdered more people or not? It really drove me crazy until the very end!

I loved Jodi Picoult's novel The Pact. It was the first book I had read by that author and it is still my favorite one of hers. It grabbed me from the first page and I did not want to put the book down. It kept me going until the very end. I read Presumed Innocent by Scott Turow before it was made into a movie. The book kept me going throughout and I never guessed the end.
