Marriage can be a real killer. One of the most critically acclaimed suspense writers of our time, New York Times bestseller Gillian Flynn takes that statement to its darkest place in this unputdownable masterpiece about a marriage gone terribly, terribly wrong. The Chicago Tribune proclaimed that her work โdraws you in and keeps you reading with the force of a pure but nasty addiction.โ Gone Girlโs toxic mix of sharp-edged wit and deliciously chilling prose creates a nerve-fraying thriller that confounds you at every turn. On a warm summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and Amy Dunneโs fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reservations are being made when Nickโs clever and beautiful wife disappears from their rented McMansion on the Mississippi River. Husband-of-the-Year Nick isnโt doing himself any favors with cringe-worthy daydreams about the slope and shape of his wifeโs head, but passages from Amy's diary reveal the alpha-girl perfectionist could have put anyone dangerously on edge. Under mounting pressure from the police and the mediaโas well as Amyโs fiercely doting parentsโthe town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and heโs definitely bitterโbut is he really a killer? As the cops close in, every couple in town is soon wondering how well they know the one that they love. With his twin sister, Margo, at his side, Nick stands by his innocence. Trouble is, if Nick didnโt do it, where is that beautiful wife? And what was in that silvery gift box hidden in the back of her bedroom closet? With her razor-sharp writing and trademark psychological insight, Gillian Flynn delivers a fast-paced, devilishly dark, and ingeniously plotted thriller that confirms her status as one of the hottest writers around.
