    Short Description for Gone GirlFlynn's toxic mix of sharp-edged wit with deliciously chilling prose creates a nerve-fraying thriller that confounds readers at every turn. When his wife disappears on their anniversary, Nick starts having cringe-worthy daydreams and becomes oddly evasive, eschewing his golden boy past.

  • Marriage is never easy5

    Sara When I first started reading this book I expected it to be a run of the mill crime / thriller story. I was hoping it wouldn't turn out to be a formulaic whodunnit, there are enough of those on the market already, but thought it would be an entertaining enough read.

    The story centres around a high-flying American couple, she's the heiress to a literary fortune, he's a career journalist; both lose their jobs and subsequently move from New York to his home town in Missouri, open a bar and settle down. But it all goes wrong in the opening chapters as she goes missing on the morning of their fifth wedding anniversary.

    The book is seen from two different perspectives, his and hers. While we follow Nick Dunne through the days after his wife's disappearance, we follow her story through her diary entries leading up to it. Not as confusing as it sounds. Nothing is ever as it seems though, I won't put spoilers here but this is not a cut and dried case. As readers we are along for the ride and can only get hints through the couple themselves - from his narrative and from her diary.

    If you like a good thriller you will love this book, its characters are intricate and interesting, you step inside their heads and see both sides of the story...but like a good conversation you only get what the other side is willing to reveal until they decide to tell you more. This is a classy read and has led me to look at Flynn's other books, but I'll definitely be reading this again to see what I missed the first time. by Sara
