Help! I am an avid reader, but my partner has very different tastes than I and is looking for a good fiction book to accompany him on an upcoming vacation. His favorite authors include Colum McCann, Gillian Flynn, and John Cheever. He enjoys more modern settings as opposed to historical fiction, and he is looking for something that is either a mystery or drama (or both!). Thank you in advance!
EDIT: adding a detail that he likes novels that reveal stories on the human condition.
