Anansi Boys, Neil Gaiman - Riotously funny, and ridiculously well read
Midnight Riot and the two following, by Ben Aaronovitch - Same review as above - funny, clever, and the narrator is superb
Flight Behavior by Barbara Kingsolver - a bit pedantic, but okay enough, read well by the author
The Joe Ledger series by Jonathan Maberry - Along with Jack Reacher, one of my favorite heroes
Alas, Babylon - a fantastic book
The Felix Castor series by Mike Carey
Any of the Pendergast books by Preston and Child - Some are better than others, and some are better read than others. Can't pick out any specific ones at the moment. But if you haven't read any yet, you have to start at the beginning.
The Orphanmaster's Son
Posadas County Mystery Series by Steven F. Havill - really lightweight, but decent storyteller, and well read
