Gillian Flynn
A novel that would twist even Shakespeare’s
mind! Gillian Flynn has written an
intriguing, dark, and intoxicating murder mystery about a criminal mastermind
who is always a few steps ahead of his victims. In Gone Girl, Amy Dunne, the
wife of Nick Dunne, disappears in what appears to be a home invasion on her fifth
wedding anniversary. The police suspect foul play and the main suspect quickly
becomes Nick, who is no husband of the year.
Nick expresses his innocence even when all the
clues lead to him. His lying, deceitful, and laid-back behavior around his
wife’s disappearance does not help him either.
As Nick has both the press and the police against him, he finds himself
caught up in his own lies and teaming up with his twin sister Margo to prevent
himself from going to jail. Police continue to find clue after clue: a silver
box with a treasure hunt designed for him by his wife, a bleached kitchen with
blood residues, a diary written by his compulsive, type-A personality wife, who
is just as manipulative as Nick. The clues lead only to one option: Nick took
Amy. But why are the clues so perfect that they leave no other option but Nick? Whoever said marriages are
happily ever after never met this competitive, ambitious, vengeful couple.
Written from the perspective of both husband and
wife, Gone Girl is intriguing and
leaves you wanting to know more. Flynn offers a unique perspective into both
the criminal’s and the victim’s mind. With a complex, original, and compelling plot,
Gone Girls is definitely a must read
for mature adults!
