Bookriot's 100 Must-Read Works of Noir

"I've used a fairly broad definition of noir, including anything with the right atmosphere, whether or not it would typically be shelved in noir; there are books that are more likely to be found in thriller, mystery, crime, horror, and even space opera. If it's got noir elements, and is otherwise must-read, it might be on here." - Annika Barranti Klein
