Chelsie (chelzlou) I usually refer to these more so as Psychological. My suggestions would be The Silent Patient, Behind Her Eyes, Our Little Secret, Jar of Hearts (this has some police/crime in it)... these are just the few I can think of off the top of my head.

Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane
Baby Teeth by Zoje Stage
The Collector by John Fowles—best unreliable narrator
We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson
What Was She Thinking by Zoe Heller
The Secret History by Donna Tartt

I’ve read all of these, and they are some of my favorites. Unreliable narrators are my favorite (not all of the above have one).
