I've just re-read "The Shadow of the Wind" after many years by Carlos Ruiz Zafon and then read for the first time "The Angel's Game" also by him. I thought they were both great with shadow of the wind being the better of the two. I intend to read the rest of the series but need a break from that specific setting for a few days. I did, however, love the atmosphere of mystery and the descriptions of Barcelona shrouded in fog, a city of conflict, melancholy, secrets and of mist and shadows in Zafon's novels.
What are some great mystery/noir style novels that have also have great characters? (Doesn't need to be depressing, can have some lighthearted characters too but nothing goofy)
