The Dinner  by Herman Koch

Translated from Dutch & billed as "A European Gone Girl", this book is a dark psychological study of parents & children, love & ambition. I am more apt to compare it to a Gillian Flynn novel ala We Need to Talk About Kevin,  except ALL the characters are - - uh, creepy?

The entire plot unfolds over dinner in a posh Amsterdam restaurant where 2 couples dance around an uncomfortable incident involving their children - who knows what? and how much? and when did they find out? and what do we do now?  Flashbacks abound to keep the reader puzzling - who ARE these people????   and what WERE they thinking????   Often described as fascist and voyeuristic, The Dinner is a delicious serving of evil that will leave your brain unsettled.  What a read for a book club!
