ISO layered, immersive commercial fiction

Looking for your best examples of unabashedly commercial novels that have managed to create a multilayered, rich world, populated by characters whose inner journeys don't just parallel the plot but actually drive it. Examples that come to mind include Tana French's In the Woods, Miriam Keyes's The Grownups, and Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty.
Recommendations from any genre welcome.

You've mentioned Tana French, but if you haven't gotten to it, this is The Witch Elm
