Looking for some good mystery novels/short story compilation, etc. Preferably no sci fi or futuristic stuff, no Stephen King. TIA.

FWIW just finished reading “We have to talk about Kevin” by Lionel Shriver. It was OK.

      Oh this one I read many years ago and liked it a lot.

        Really, it’s hard to go wrong with Umberto Eco. Though I have to admit, I’ve tried MULTIPLE times to crack Foucalt’s Pendulum and that’s a super dense read.

        Basically the same plot as Dan Brown’s DaVinci Code, but for intellectuals. :)

          Oh that woulld be The island of the day before for me. Couldn’t fully understand it but read it nonetheless. Foucault’s pendulum was my late father’s favorite book so thanks for the memory.
