Gone Girl:

On the anniversary of her wedding, Amy disappears. There are signs of a scuffle in the house, and her husband, Nick quickly becomes the main suspect.

The fact that Nick isn’t as open with the police as he should doesn’t help matters. As more evidence appears against him, Nick insists on his innocence. 

 

Gone Girl is a convoluted, psychological thriller. As disclosures unfurl, it becomes clear that the truth is far darker, more warped, and scarier than you can imagine.  

Gone Girl is well conceived, and the uncertainty doesn’t waver for a single page. Gone Girl one of those books where the ending doesn’t just come, it perforates your head and won’t leave you alone.

Well worth a read

Gone Girl:

On Nick and Amy’s fifth wedding anniversary she disappears from their home on the Mississippi River. Passages from Amy's diary reveal she could have put anyone dangerously on edge. Nick is oddly evasive, and he’s definitely bitter, but is he really a killer?
   With his twin sister, Margo, at his side, Nick stands by his innocence. Trouble is, if Nick didn’t do it, where is that beautiful wife? And what was in that silvery gift box hidden in the back of her bedroom closet?

   

 

In Gone Girl, the characters unfold, bit by bit, and in unexpected ways, that keep you reading. The question is generally, "Can we ever really know another human being?" This book actually probes further and we find ourselves asking, "Can we ever really know ourselves. What are we capable of? The way the story ends clinches what a sickening liaison Nick and Amy had.

A book well worth reading... But be aware that Gone Girl contains coarse language as well as violence and sexual content.
