I loved Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman: such a believable landscape with great characters. It's a realistic-type fantasy story about a whole other civilization in London's Underground; it really makes you think twice when riding the subway.

Another great book by Margaret Atwood is Alias Grace. It's based on a true story about a maid who was convicted of killing her employer and his mistress. But, whether she's guilty or not was never really decided - there are hints of mental disorders, etc. It's a fascinating, deep, psychological thriller.
