Have you ever read a Victoria Holt? She is a classic writer of romantic suspense. For some of these I remember the plot from 30 years ago. Her books will keep you on the edge of your seat. If you're more into historical fiction (according to many, not very accurate history), she also wrote as Jean Plaidy.
Do you love Mary Stewart's suspense novels? If you haven't, you need to, because they are wonderful entertainment. In general I would call Stewart's novels more suspense, Holt's more romance, but both women wrote novels that were in both genres.
Mary Roberts Rinehart is an American author who wrote classic mysteries. She is sometimes considered the American Agatha Christie, and she definitely deserved the title.
Here are some of my all-time favorites of these classic authors. Add your favorites (not necessarily just these three women), or use this list to delve into these wonderful old favorites.
By the way, if you have a Kindle many of these books are available for download to the Kindle absolutely free. I didn't include that information, since that can change from moment to moment. But if you have a Kindle and there is a book on this list you want to read, check to see if you can get it free on your Kindle.

Nice list, but there a a few doubles (different editions of the same book).
