Gone Girl

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER € The €œmercilessly entertaining€ (Vanity Fair) instant classic €œabout the nature of identity and the terrible secrets that can survive and thrive in even the most intimate relationships€ (Lev Grossman, Time).

NAMED ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Janet Maslin, The New York Times € People € Entertainment Weekly € O: The Oprah Magazine € Slate € Kansas City Star € USA Today € Christian Science Monitor

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? 

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY San Francisco Chronicle € St. Louis Post Dispatch € Chicago Tribune € HuffPost € Newsday

€œAbsorbing . . . In masterly fashion, Flynn depicts the unraveling of a marriage€"and of a recession-hit Midwest€"by interweaving the wife€s diary entries with the husband€s first-person account.€€"New Yorker

€œMs. Flynn writes dark suspense novels that anatomize violence without splashing barrels of blood around the pages . . . Ms. Flynn has much more up her sleeve than a simple missing-person case. As Nick and Amy alternately tell their stories, marriage has never looked so menacing, narrators so unreliable.€€"The Wall Street Journal

€œThe story unfolds in precise and riveting prose . . . even while you know you€re being manipulated, searching for the missing pieces is half the thrill of this wickedly absorbing tale.€€"O: The Oprah Magazine
