Gone Girl

In Flynn's masterful novel, she weaves together the unraveling of a marriage and a recession-hit Midwest through the alternating perspectives of the wife's diary entries and the husband's first-person account. Flynn's dark suspense novels explore violence without relying on graphic descriptions, and her latest work is no exception. Nick and Amy's stories paint a picture of a marriage that is anything but safe, and their unreliable narrators make for a gripping read. The New Yorker and The Wall Street Journal both agree that Flynn has crafted a powerful and thought-provoking story.

Discover the New York Times bestseller that Vanity Fair calls "mercilessly entertaining" and Time calls an "instant classic" about the nature of identity and the secrets that can survive and thrive in even the most intimate relationships. On a warm summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, Nick and Amy Dunne celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary. But when Nick's clever and beautiful wife disappears, the presents are unwrapped and the reservations are cancelled. Follow Nick as he embarks on a desperate search to uncover the truth about what happened to his wife.
