I’m looking for a detective book with a compelling main character (ideally the detective). The eerier the better. Bonus points if it also has some fantasy elements. I’m also not opposed to a more noir style of storytelling.
I suggest ‘Gone Girl’ by Gillian Flynn to readers looking for a modern psychological thriller. The book’s masterful use of unreliable narrators and its dark examination of marriage make it a standout mystery that’s both sophisticated and utterly compelling.
