Similar to Kettering Incident... Books or shows
I loved the Kettering Incident.
I'd like more stuff that has that mysterious quality to it. Like an X Files/Twin Peaks cross.
However what I appreciated about Kettering was
- no rape explicitly shown and I don't think even implied
- no sex for no reason (like when the main character goes to the guy's house, it's actually because there's a plot point and she finds something).. No drawn out sex scenes just to show bodies.
- the violence is not over the top or gorey or solely aimed at women
- you just aren't sure if the main character is a reliable narrator (The Girl on the Train)
I feel like some books of the Vorkosigan Saga are like this... Light on the sex but still show relationships, violence level was ok.
So, I guess more stuff like Kettering Incident X Files, Twin Peaks, Girl on the Train where's there's not a lot of sex or gorey, explicit violence and more of some kind of mystery. It's ok if someone got murdered or something, I don't want long expositional text about it a la Hannibal Lecter or any of the popular crime novel type stuff.
This is my first post here so let me know if I should more information.
Thanks for any help :)




I'm afraid I don't have any recs, but I have the Kettering Incident on my to-watch list and it sounds right up my alley from what you've said :D
Let me know what you think! It's one of the best shows I've seen in a while. I would have felt same about a book version. Wondering where it's been all my life!
