I recently completed the third installment of Chelsea Cain's series, Evil at Heart. I am not one for suspense or horror but this trilogy has me hooked. My roommate reads Cain and suggested I at least try it.
I hate to characterize it through comparison as it feels like deadening it, no pun intended as it's a novel about a serial killer.

I adore Arturo Perez-Riverte and Mary Doria Russell.
I try to grab Riverte when I find him on the shelf, I loved the twists and terms of Club Dumas. Yes, Ninth Gate was very loosely based upon it but I assure you, you'd barely know they were the same as the movie chose to pursue a small theme within the multi-layered work. The book is far superior.

Russell's work is some of the most mature I have read in its exploration of human feelings without turning the novel into an emotional rollarcoaster, which isn't my preferred read anyway.
Her duo The Sparrow and Children of God explored outer and inner space with joy.

I want a good tale to transport me without a catharsis.
