I did not
finish this book found it to be at most mediocre
– but here is what it says in a review.
Marriage can be a real killer. One of the most critically acclaimed
suspense writers of our time, New York Times bestseller Gillian Flynn takes
that statement to its darkest place in this unputdownable masterpiece about a
marriage gone terribly, terribly wrong. The Chicago Tribune proclaimed that her
work “draws you in and keeps you reading with the force of a pure but nasty
addiction.” Gone Girl’s toxic mix of sharp-edged wit and deliciously chilling
prose creates a nerve-fraying thriller that confounds you at every turn. On a
warm summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and Amy Dunne’s
fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reservations are
being made when Nick’s clever and beautiful wife disappears from their rented
McMansion on the Mississippi River. Husband-of-the-Year Nick isn’t doing
himself any favors with cringe-worthy daydreams about the slope and shape of
his wife’s head, but passages from Amy’s diary reveal the alpha-girl
perfectionist could have put anyone dangerously on edge. Under mounting
pressure from the police and the media—as well as Amy’s fiercely doting
parents—the town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and
inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and he’s definitely bitter—but is
he really a killer? As the cops close in, every couple in town is soon
wondering how well they know the one that they love. With his twin sister,
Margo, at his side, Nick stands by his innocence. Trouble is, if Nick didn’t do
it, where is that beautiful wife? And what was in that silvery gift box hidden
in the back of her bedroom closet? With her razor-sharp writing and trademark
psychological insight, Gillian Flynn delivers a fast-paced, devilishly dark,
and ingeniously plotted thriller.
