"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.

"A Week in Winter"

by Maeve Binchy

 

Maeve Binchy, "the grand story teller," returns with a cast of characters you will never forget. Stoneyville is a small town on the coast of Ireland where all the families know each other. When Chicky decides to take an old decaying mansion, Stone House, and turn it into a restful place for a holiday by the sea, the town thinks she is crazy. She is helped by Rigger, a bad boy turned good who is handy around the place, and her niece Orla, who is a whiz at business.

 

Finally the first week of paying guests arrive: John, the American movie star thinks he has arrived incognito; Nuala and Henry, husband and wife, both doctors who have been shaken by seeing too much death; Miss Nell Howe, a retired school teacher, who criticizes everything and leaves a day early; the Walls who have entered in 200 contests (and won everything from a microwave oven to velvet curtains, including the week at Stone House); and Freda, the psychic who is afraid of her own visions.

 

 You will laugh and cry as you spend the week with this odd group who share their secrets and might even have some of their dreams come true!
