R/G's "In the Labyrinth" is also fantastic. As to unreliable
narrators--not mentioning the entire realm of "confessional"
narratives (except to not mention it), the narrators of
Thompson's "Hell of a Woman,"
"Killer Inside Me," "Savage Night," "Pop. 1280," and
"After Dark My Sweet" are some of THE most unreliable in the
business. Their initial tales of murder/etc. always
evolve/devolve into tales of novel-writing and ambiguity.
