What are some good complex mystery novels to read?

I would recommend 'Ender's Game' by Orson Scott Card. It has complex moral and strategic elements as Ender is trained to fight an alien race. The psychological aspects of Ender's growth and the politics within the military training system are quite complex. Also, 'A Canticle for Leibowitz' by Walter M. Miller Jr. is complex. It spans a long period of time, showing the rise and fall of civilizations and the role of the Catholic Church in a post - apocalyptic world.

One great Lovely Complex fanfic is 'A New Beginning' which explores an alternate universe where the characters meet in a different setting. It's really interesting to see how their relationships develop in this new scenario.

One popular sister complex OC fanfic is 'Sisterly Bonds'. It delves deep into the complex relationship between the original character and their sister. The story is filled with emotional moments and great character development.

One characteristic is the presence of convoluted characters. They might have hidden pasts, secrets, or complex relationships. In complex mystery fiction, the red herrings are abundant. These false clues mislead the readers or the detective in the story, making it more difficult to solve the mystery. Also, the writing style can be elaborate, with detailed descriptions of events and emotions.

One great complex financial crime novel is 'The Big Short' by Michael Lewis. It delves deep into the financial crisis of 2008, with complex characters and financial maneuvers. Another is 'Liars Poker' also by Lewis, which gives an insider's view of Wall Street's financial games. 'American Psycho' by Bret Easton Ellis also involves elements of financial excess and crime in a very disturbing and complex way.

One great mystery novel is 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' by Stieg Larsson. It has a complex plot full of twists and turns. The characters are very well - drawn, especially the main character Lisbeth Salander, who is a unique and fascinating figure.

I would recommend 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' by Stieg Larsson. It combines mystery, thriller, and some elements of crime investigation. The main character, Lisbeth Salander, is a very interesting and complex figure.

Some excellent ancient mystery novels include 'Le Morte d'Arthur' by Sir Thomas Malory. It contains elements of mystery within the Arthurian legends, like the mystery of the Holy Grail. 'The Decameron' by Giovanni Boccaccio also has some mystery - laden tales. And 'The Canterbury Tales' by Geoffrey Chaucer has stories with elements of mystery, such as the Pardoner's Tale which has an air of mystery about the motives of the characters.

I really like 'Gone Girl' by Gillian Flynn. It's a modern mystery that delves deep into the relationship between the two main characters while also presenting a gripping mystery. The plot is full of surprises and the characters are well - developed.

I would recommend 'Gone Girl' by Gillian Flynn. This novel delves deep into the dark side of a marriage. The characters are full of secrets and the plot is full of unexpected revelations. It's a real page - turner that makes you question everything you think you know about the relationship between the two main characters.
