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 from their rented McMansion on the Mississippi River.
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 bitterbut 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 didn’t do it, where is that beautiful wife? And what was in that silvery gift box hidden in the back of her bedroom closet? Read online Gone Girl book now.

Gone Girl Book Review
In the first few pages of Gillian Flynn’s new novel Gone Girl, I was
thinking, “This is it one of those rare novels that’s unique and
totally engrossing, cleverly plotted so that each new development has me
astounded and eager to find out what happens next.” Then the story
continued as Midwestern husband Nick began to deal with his wife Amy’s
sudden disappearance and some gradually revealed details that might cast
doubt on his own innocence in the matter. During that time, the book
dropped down from the level of extraordinary to merely somewhat
intriguing. However, once I reached Part Two of Gone Girl (“Boy Meets
Girl”), it was like Ms Flynn kicked it up a notch, and the book became
amazing again. Without giving any spoilers, Part Two unveils some major
plot twists that cast Amy’s status in an entirely new light. From that
point on, the story moves along in powder keg fashion: the fuse has been
lit, and it’s only a question of how long ’til the explosion, and how
much damage will be done when it happens. Flynn has a distinctive
writing style that really involved me in what was going on with her two
main characters. I had previously purchased but not yet read her Dark
Places (after several recommendations). Now I will have to read it, and
also get her first book, Sharp Objects. Only one warning, though: Gone
Girl contains a fair amount of foul language. This was not a problem for
me, but it might be for some readers. Get online Gone Girl today.
