Marriage can be a real awesome.
Among the most critically well-known suspense authors of our time, New york city Times bestseller Gillian Flynn takes that statement to its darkest area in this unputdownable masterpiece about a marital relationship gone awfully, terribly incorrect.

Gone Woman's hazardous mix of sharp-edged wit and delightfully chilling writing creates a nerve-fraying thriller that confounds you at every turn.

Amazon Best Books of the Month, June 2012: On the day of their fifth wedding anniversary, Nick's wife Amy vanishes. There are signs of battle in your home and Nick quickly becomes the prime suspect. It doesn't help that Nick hasn't been completely honest with the authorities and, as Amy's case drags on for weeks, an increasing number of vilifying proof appears against him. Nick, nevertheless, preserves his innocence. Distinguished alternating points of view between Nick and Amy, Gillian Flynn develops an undependable world that changes chapter-to-chapter. Calling Gone Lady a mental thriller is an understatement. As discovery after discovery unfolds, it becomes clear that the truth does not exist in the middle of Nick and Amy's viewpoints; in reality, the truth is far more dark, more twisted, and more weird than you can imagine. Gone Lady is masterfully plotted from beginning to complete and the suspense does not waver for one page. Since the ending doesn't simply come; it punches you in the intestine, it's one of those books you will feel the need to talk about immediately after completing.-- Caley Anderson
From Author Gillian Flynn
You could state I specialize in tough characters. Damaged, disrupted, or downright nasty. Personally, I like every one of the misfits, losers, and outcasts in my three novels. My supporting characters are meth tweakers, truck-stop strippers, backwoods grifters ...
However it's my storytellers who are the genuine challenge.
In Sharp Objects, Camille Preaker is an average reporter fresh from a stay at a psychiatric healthcare facility. She's an alcoholic. She's got impulse problems. She's likewise extremely lonesome. Her finest pal is her manager. When she goes back to her home town to investigate a kid murder, she parks down the street from her mom's residence "so about appear less obtrusive." She has no sense of whom to trust, and this leads to disaster.
Camille is cut off from the world however would rather not be. In Dark Places, narrator Libby Day is strongly lonely. She cultivates her isolation. She lives off a trust fund established for her as a youngster when her family was massacred; she isn't really especially grateful for it. She's a phony, a manipulator, a kleptomaniac. "I have a meanness inside me, genuine as an organ," she warns. "Draw an image of my soul and it 'd be a scribble with fangs." If Camille is extremely grateful when people want to befriend her, Libby's very first instinct is to kick them in their shins.
In those first 2 stories, I discovered the geography of loneliness-- and the devastation it can lead to. With Gone Lady, I wished to go the opposite direction: exactly what happens when 2 individuals intertwine their lives completely. I wished to explore the location of intimacy-- and the devastation it can result in. Marriage gone poisonous.
Gone Lady opens on the occasion of Amy and Nick Dunne's fifth wedding anniversary. (How charming.) Amy disappears under really disturbing circumstances. (Less romantic.) Nick and Amy Dunne were the gold couple when they initially began their courtship. True love. They might finish each other's sentences, think each other's responses. They could press each other's buttons. They are wise, lovely, gorgeous, as well as egotistical, selfish, and cruel.
They full each other-- in an extremely harmful means.
