Laura by Vera Caspary

In this 1942 novel told from multiple perspectives, Caspary deftly manipulates the constraints of the genre to investigate not only the death of Laura Hunt but class and sexual politics at large. Not to mention the way a man can fall in love with a memory. Library catalog link.
