Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

Wowza! This was a roller coaster of a book! I've been meaning to read "Gone Girl" for awhile but it's always been checked out since they announced there would be a movie. Just watched the trailer, by the way, and it looks good. I love Rosamund Pike; I've always wished she was in more movies and I think she'll be a perfect Amy.

On the morning of their 5th wedding anniversary, Nick comes home to the front door hanging open, signs of a struggle in their living room, and his wife Amy missing. The police investigation goes south and all evidence suggests the husband is a killer, while Nick insists he is innocent.

There are so many plot twists that it's hard to write much of a review without giving away spoilers, but suffice it to say that I was hooked and kept guessing throughout the story. There's quite a bit of language, so much that I had to seriously monitor my normally clean speech because I constantly had the book's tone in my head. In general, I found the story a touch disturbing, but this could be because I read it mostly in the middle of the night while nursing my newborn. I would probably recommend reading this during daylight hours. :)

Overall a very good read!

4 out of 5 stars
