Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn (Crown, June 2012)
When his wife Amy goes missing on
their fifth wedding anniversary, Nick Dunne begins to question how well he knew
his wife. The police suspect Nick in
Amy’s disappearance after his casual reaction to his wife’s disappearance and
the knowledge that Nick and Amy’s marriage was beginning to falter, and Nick
must now follow clues his wife left him to learn her secrets and to learn the
secrets Amy had uncovered about him. The
more Nick looks, the more he learns he never really knew Amy and the more he
realizes he will never be able to be free of her, no matter how this ends. Filled with cunning and clever tension,
Gillian Flynn describes the marriage of two people who only knew about the
other what the other was willing to reveal.
There are neat twists and turns, with a narrative that drives the plot
forward as what happened to Amy, and what Amy did, is
slowly revealed one layer at a time, making this book completely irresistable.
