Both a cautionary tale for bad men and a clarion call for unhappy women, Gone Girl is a compelling page-turner that does not let up. Every few pages another bombshell drops, and the tension is exquisite! While Nick Dunne lackadaisically plans to show up for his fifth-wedding-anniversary celebration, his wife, Amy, has gone to the usual lengths by preparing poetry, a clue-filled treasure hunt, and a year-appropriate gift. There's obviously a slight disparity in their views on the occasion, and in fact, there is disparity in everything in the Dunnes' marriage. When Nick comes home to the scene of a struggle and his wife has disappeared, the nightmare to follow is miles beyond anything he imagines. Chilling, smart, and absolutely humming with barely contained panic, Gone Girl is one fast-paced, thrilling read you shouldn't miss. Recommended by Dianah, Powell's City of Books
Gone Girl is a fast-paced, suspenseful, and terrifying thriller written by Gillian Flynn. The story follows husband Nick Dunne as he searches for his wife, Amy, when she disappears on the morning of their fifth wedding anniversary. When the media paints Nick as the prime suspect in his wife's disappearance, he must figure out what happened to her or face dire consequences. Alternating points of view between Nick and Amy's diary create a mystery that will keep even the biggest fans of the genre guessing until the last page. Recommended by Stefani, Powells.com
