John le Carré is a great spy thriller writer, my personal favourite. I read many of his fictions.
He has the English flavour. Gentleman like, a pace not in a hurry, but cutting edge at the critical moment.
I much prefer British thrillers to American thrillers. Sorry for the political incorrectness.
Ian Flemming, Frederick Forsyth, Ken Follett, John le Carre, Graham Greene..........yeh the last is a serious one, and John le Carre can be also quite serious at times.
Not to mention Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie, Dickens.......surely Dickens is a thriller writer right? lol
Maybe the only one British writer I don't like is J K Rowling.
For me Dan Brown is the one who single-handedly wins back the face for the American thriller writers in front of their British colleagues.

Best of luck in your search for another book you can't put down!
