From Little Stack
A modern mystery/thriller classic with an absolutely brilliant twist, if you haven’t read the book (or seen the equally brilliant film by David Fincher starring Rosamund Pike and Ben Affleck), you need to do yourself a favour and rectify this oversight immediately.
A wonderfully written and constructed thriller, Nick Dunne finds himself as the prime suspect in his wife’s disappearance after the police are initially on his side. Evidence stacks up against him, some through folly, others from his own choices, and some as mysterious to him as to anyone else. Instead of sweeping the rug from beneath us at the end, Flynn delivers the twist midway through the story and it’s sublime.
A cautionary tale regarding the perils of social media (back in its infancy) and asking us to examine how well we truly know someone, even those closest to us, Gone Girl is a fun, dirty, stressful and an exhilarating piece of fiction.
On a warm summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and Amy Dunne’s fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reservations are being made when Nick’s clever and beautiful wife disappears.
Husband-of-the-Year Nick isn’t doing himself any favors with cringe-worthy daydreams about the slope and shape of his wife’s 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 media—as well as Amy’s fiercely doting parents—the town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior.
Nick is oddly evasive, and he’s definitely bitter—but is he really a killer?
