I'm going to nominate a classic, Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

(From Amazon US book description). Boisterous, ribald, and ultimately shattering, Ken Kesey’s 1962 novel has left an indelible mark on the literature of our time. Now in a new deluxe edition with a foreword by Chuck Palahniuk and cover by Joe Sacco, here is the unforgettable story of a mental ward and its inhabitants, especially the tyrannical Big Nurse Ratched and Randle Patrick McMurphy, the brawling, fun-loving new inmate who resolves to oppose her. We see the struggle through the eyes of Chief Bromden, the seemingly mute half-Indian patient who witnesses and understands McMurphy’s heroic attempt to do battle with the powers that keep them all imprisoned

It is available on Overdrive as both an ebook and an audiobook, and on Audible.
This is a great work of fiction and I highly recommend it, irrespective of whether it is chosen.
It focuses more on the unreliable narrator aspect though by definition an unreliable narrator must engage in lying and misdirection to some extent whether intended or otherwise. This is a story which I don't think will be spoilt by being selected for this theme. Indeed, readers must come to their own conclusion about what to make of the narration.
