The (im)Perfect Murder

The Stranger - Albert Camus
A wonderful companion piece to The Fall, also by the same author. The Stranger delves deeper into the understanding and effects of pure existentialism through a dark tale populated with empty people and empty scenery. Camus seems to have mastered the short novel of immense depth, a sort of Anti-Tolstoy - (not that Tolstoy is shallow, just long). It is not a book for those suffering a crisis of existence however as it can be both depressing and pointedly agnostic.
