The Wasp Factory Loved
This was his first, and it's a masterpiece of twisted imagination. There's a surprise ending, but the convoluted path by which you get there has a terrifying internal logic.

Thus Was Adonis Murdered Loved
Caudwell has written a mystery novel populated by barristers of supernatural wit and cleverness, resulting in one of the most consistently amusing books I've ever read.

The Debt to Pleasure Recommends
A wonderfully dark novel, structured loosely around a series of recipes. You won't learn any new culinary tricks, but you'll be drawn into the wicked plotting of Tarquin Winot as he spins his schemes with considerable savoir faire . The first book I recommend to people I think highly of.
