"Gone Girl"
by Gillian Flynn
Marriage can be a real killer. 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, media, and Amy's 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. Trouble is, if Nick didn’t do
it, where is that beautiful wife?
With her razor-sharp writing and
trademark psychological insight, Gillian Flynn delivers a fast-paced, devilishly
dark, and ingeniously plotted thriller that confirms her status as one of the
hottest writers around.
