Basically, I’m looking for a novel that has a compelling storyline, lots of twists, adventure, tragedy, thriller. I’ve searched and these novels came up:


Les Misérables Victor Hugo
The Three Musketeers Alexandre Dumas
Scaramouche Rafael Sabatini

But I don’t know if the above novels are any good or not, or if they’re even like The Count of Monte Cristo. Any ideas?
Out of the three quoted above, I have only read the Three Musketeers, which I can strongly recommend, compared to TCoMC it is less bleak.

Another modern recommendation would be Dorothy Dunnet's Lymond Chronicles, starting with The Game of Kings.
