Top Five: Killer Narrators

I’ve always been drawn to books with unreliable narrators. I’m also drawn to books with villainous narrators. These two techniques, of course, go hand in hand, often setting up a reader for a twist ending or a big reveal. The following are my favorite novels in which the narrator is a murderer, or the narrator turns out to be the murderer that the detective has been looking for all alone. Here comes the part where I state the obvious: Spoilers Ahead. Although I will say that all of these books amount to more than their twists, and are worth reading even if you know some of their secrets.
