Based on your tastes, I was just about to recommend "America Gods"
But I'd like to suggest:
"The end of Mr. Y" by Scarlett Thomas
From
goodreads: "
A cursed book. A missing professor. Some nefarious men in gray suits. And a dreamworld called the Troposphere? Ariel Manto has a fascination with nineteenth-century scientists—especially Thomas Lumas and The End of Mr. Y, a book no one alive has read. When she mysteriously uncovers a copy at a used bookstore, Ariel is launched into an adventure of science and faith, consciousness and death, space and time, and everything in between. [...] With The End of Mr. Y, Scarlett Thomas brings us another fast-paced mix of popular culture, love, mystery, and irresistible philosophical adventure."
"
Fingersmith" or "
Affinity" by Sarah Waters - gothic victorian thrillers with convoluted plots involving several layers of deception.
