I read
Madam and
The Maidens pretty close together and they have a similar vibe. I think I'd give a slight edge to
The Maidens.

It's interesting how many of these books are often in the Mysteries & Thriller section of the bookstore -- and many others are in the YA section. That can make finding a book a challenge if I'm prowling through the bricks & mortar bookstore. But it's a form of exercise.

YA seems to be the natural category unless the POV character is an adult. I never knew there was a dark academia genre, and I'm still rather hazy about the parameters, but I do like suspense novels with school settings.

I noticed that Special Topics in Calamity Physics was often recommended as a dark academia book. I think the others you added count as well.

I enjoyed that one; I don't know how well it fits but it's quite good.
I am currently reading
The Furies, a YA by Katie Lowe, which seems to fit the category.
