What are your favorite: Mystery, Horror, Lit Fiction, without animal abuse?

I’m open to anything (other than cozy fantasy/cozy mystery) that doesn’t have a lot of animal abuse or violence.

Books I’ve loved:

Lost Gods by Brom

Anything Ann Patchett

The Briar Club by Kate Quinn

Some Grady Hendrix

Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer

Perfume and Pain by Anna Dorm
