On the morning of their 5th anniversary, Nick’s
wife, Amy, disappears into thin air. Then
the story begins; Amy’s story – Nick’s story.
Both are very adept at lying. The
novel has many layers and plot twists and the characters are very well
developed. If you enjoy mystery and
intrigue then this novel should not be missed.
The book has had rave reviews:
Flynn cements her
place among that elite group of mystery/thriller writers who unfailingly
deliver the goods…Once again Flynn has written an intelligent, gripping tour de
force, mixing a riveting plot and psychological intrigue with a compelling
prose style that unobtrusively yet forcefully carries the reader from page to
page. Library Journal (Starred review)
Gone Girl is one of the best—and most
frightening—portraits of psychopathy I've ever read. Nick and Amy manipulate
each other—with savage, merciless and often darkly witty dexterity. This is a
wonderful and terrifying book about how the happy surface normality and the
underlying darkness can become too closely interwoven to separate. Tana French, New York Times
bestselling author of Faithful Place and Into the Woods
The plot has it
all. I have no doubt that in a year’s time I’m going to be saying that this is
my favorite novel of 2012. Brilliant. Kate
Atkinson, New York Times bestselling author of Started Early,
Took My Dog and Case Histories
Gone Girl manages to be so many stellar things all
at once—suspenseful, inventive, chilling, funny, unsettling—as well as
beautifully plotted and fiercely well-written. Gillian Flynn is a thrilling
writer. Kate Christensen,
PEN/FAULKNER award-winning author of The Great Man
