I have too many favorite authors to list them all.
A small subset:
Robert K. Tanenbaum
Robert. B. Parker
Michael Connolly
Glen Cook
Tee Morris
Peter Abrahams
Simon R. Green
Glen Cook
Rex Stout.
F. Paul Wilson
Margerie Allingham
Janet Evanovich
I like a fair amount of action and snappy/amusing dialogue. I like series, but like it when books on the series can be read stand alone as well. Books by Rex Stout (Nero Wolfe) can be read in any order without feeling that you have missed half of the story or long detailed explanations of what went on in previous books (spoilers).
An ungoing subplot is good and interests me, but I find an odd comfort and even excitement in reading a book in a series with familiar characters that I have not yet read.
