Authors who haven't written a single bad book

These guys fulfil my criterion IMHO:

Alan Furst
Graham Greene
Patrick O'Brian
Eric Ambler

And that's it. Everyone else has cocked up in some way or another.

I don't know any of those authors

What about H.G Wells? I haven't read them all but everyone I've read was a beauty.

John Updike?

Engleby wasn't that great, altho' obviously these things are subjective.

John Updike?

Tried and don't like him ...I find the plots over-contrived and the characters unbelievable.

I quite enjoyed it... doesn't everyone love a closet psycho?
