By copy, I'm suggesting you study how he keeps building up the tension. That's the way to do a thriller, even if he tends to repeat himself, a little. (BTW, that's why I stopped reading Evaonvich, every book repeated the same shtick over and over.) With Dan Brown, he releases few enough books that the system seems to work. At least that's my guess based on sales figures.
I tried to read "Angels & Demons" and just couldn't get into it. I have no interest in the subject matter of "The Davinci Code." Can you recommend a different one? And I don't think Evanovich is a thriller. It's more about humor and romance. Thanks for the input.
