Agatha Christie "Death on the Nile"
I think Agatha Christie wrote the best mysteries in the world. If you are looking for a fun, fast mystery with good character development and numerous twists and turns read "Death on the Nile". Poirot travelled on the Nile when a murder of a recently married, beautiful heiress was committed.

Ken Kesey "One flew over the cuckoo's nest"
This is a very moving story which mades me feel horror, laugh, be shocked while I was reading it. Readers see a group of men living in a psychiatric hospital, each man is there for a different reason, they all need help. In order to escape prison Randle McMurphy decided to spend only six months in hospital and be free. He gets the other men to gamble, breaks the rules. There are many tragic moments in this story.
The ending gave me a lot to think about.
I don't want to retell the plot, you need to experience the story for yourself.
