I admit that I haven't read the entire thread, but I was a Dan Brown fan who is no longer a Dan Brown fan.
I loved Angels and Demons, read all the rest and then read The Lost Symbol. Not a good book, IMO.
If the OP is looking for a writer long the same lines, I have to agree with those who have recommended Chrichton. With the exception of Sphere, which for some reason bored me, his books are quite well done.
I'm going to take another poster's suggestion of Rankin, haven't read him.
