Gone Girl was an exciting and fast read.
The basic premise of the book is that a woman goes missing, and her husband is suspected of murdering her.
There are twists - big and small - throughout the book. It keeps you guessing to the end. I really can't say too much about the story because I don't want to give anything away. It's best to read this book without knowing too much because part of the enjoyment in reading it came from the unexpected turns the story and characters take.
The narrator alternates every chapter, back and forth from the point-of-view of the husband and the wife. The book is like watching a good Dateline episode. But it's even better because you get insight into the psyche of both the suspect and the victim.
Although none of the characters are very likeable, the writing is crisp and clever. It was hard to put down.
I would highly recommend Gone Girl to anyone who enjoys murder mysteries. (Get the book by clicking the photo or link above or below.)
Update: I read and reviewed one of Gillian Flynn's other novels, Dark Places, which I liked even better than Gone Girl. I have also read her first novel, Sharp Objects, which I will review soon.
