If you're all about twisty, you might want to try The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, by Agatha Christie. No mental illness, but definitely a hell of a twist .
-mystery of what was really happening to the psychiatric patients on the island (throughout most of the book) - mystery is my favorite story element;
-the surprise twist at the end (I refrain from reading reviews of books before I read them because even knowing that there is a surprise ending spoils it for me because I am constantly wondering throughout the book what the twist might be - but LOVE it when I don't know it's coming and am truly surprised);
-background setting/theme of insane asylums, mental illness
Any recommendations for books like this??
