The Night Watch by Sarah Waters
4.0

A few years ago, I stayed up two nights in a row because of Waters' Fingersmith. I couldn't put it down. The Night Watch doesn't have that book's incredibly fun twist in the middle, but the story's "backwards" construction showcases yet again Sarah Waters' skills as a writer. She's one of the modern masters of plot, pacing and atmosphere.
