One must - read is 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' by Stieg Larsson. It has a complex plot full of mystery and intrigue. Another is 'Gone Girl' by Gillian Flynn, which has a really twisted storyline that keeps you guessing. And 'In Cold Blood' by Truman Capote is a classic that is based on a real - life crime and is very well - written.
Must-read British short stories often include 'The Open Window' by Saki. It's known for its clever plot and surprise ending. 'The Selfish Giant' by Oscar Wilde is another gem, with its touching story and moral lessons. 'A Cup of Tea' by Katherine Mansfield is also worth your time for its delicate portrayal of human emotions.
