Jo...here is another author you may like ::

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A._J._Cronin

I can recommend all his books but especially ::

"The Citadel"

"Keys to the Kingdom"

"The Stars look Down"

He is perhaps more famous in Britain for the "Doctor Finlay's Casebook" books, that were made into a highly popular BBC TV series in the 60's.

Like Shute, good, solid, well written novels.

I would start with "The Citadel" !
