I hope this doesn't sound too vague, but I am interested in novels or short stories where you, the reader, are manipulated by the narrative itself, or by the way it's being written. Like a detective story where the prose and the dialogue and the general mood of the story make it sound obvious who the killer is, but the evidence just contradicts that entirely. Basically a study in narrative ambiguity. I used a detective story as an example, but it could be anything really, preferably literary fiction but anything goes. Thank you in advance.

Have you read ‘The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time’ by Mark Haddon? It might be what you’re looking for.
Hmm maybe “Annihilation” by Jeff Vandermeer and “Understand” by Ted Chiang?
