If you haven't read Tana French, that is my recommendation.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
Seconding Tana French heartily! And Laura Lippman is pretty great, too
I'm reading In the Woods right now. I kind of got bored there for a while, but it's picking up again. I just got to the part where the narrator spent the night in the woods trying to remember what happened when he was a kid.
-t, I grabbed the anthology on the kindle and I'll look into Megan Abbott, Strix
I love Tana French, especially her second and third novels, The Likeness and Faithful Place.
The Likeness was may favourite of them all.
They are allegedly working on a TV series based on the first five Dublin Murder Squad novels, and I am both impatient to see them and dubious they can do them justice. I 'm assuming they do a book a series.
I know Megan Abbott! Well, I know her ex husband and met her once. Maybe that isn't so exciting.
sj, have you read Laura Lippman? They aren't necessarily that dark, but there are a lot of them!
Close enough, Gris!
