The thing I find about unputdownable books is that (mostly) when you've finished reading them you're left feeling flat.
What I want is unputdownable and . . . challenging, interesting, unexpected, surprising -- not the same old formula rehashed for the umpteenth time.
I recommend Ruth Rendell (not the Wexford ones) and Ruth Rendell writing as Barbara Vine. Aside from that, I can't really think of any authors that are consistently unputdownable in the way that I want, perhaps Patricia Highsmith.
Earlier this year I read Andrew W. Mitchell's "Supervirus". I found that unputdownable.
