Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
After reading and watching Gone Girl, I was eager to read more of Flynn. Her talent for writing dark, gritty, angsty fiction is amazing and this novel exceeded my expectations.
In this story, the main character is a journalist whom returns to her home town to investigate the two murders of young girls. Once they were dead, the murderer removed the girls' teeth.
To put it lightly without causing a spoiler, the main character has issues of her own within her own family. She is lucky to be of wealth but the relationship she has with her mother seems bitter and somewhat toxic. She also has a younger half sister who is 13 years old but acts much older than her mere teenage years. She is the "queen bee" figure at school and is very sexually active amongst being a bully and drug user.
The protagonist befriends a policeman who is working on the case and together they unwrap the case piece by piece.
This is definitely a book to keep reading until the end, because the ending is shocking and I could never imagined the story to end the way it did. I would like to talk more about his book, but I won't, purely because I don't want to put in any spoilers!
