Gone Girl

The writing in this book was so enjoyable that the subject matter hardly mattered to me, honestly. It was largely unpredictable, which is an unexpected and welcome delight in mystery novels. The plot was a little bit close to a Linwood Barclay book I read last year, so that kind of killed my interest a bit, although the writing here is much better than in any Barclay I've read.

In the end, I'd give it 3 1/2 to 4 stars, subtracting points for the slight unbelievability and never-mentioned loose ends that left me a bit frustrated, combined with the near lack of a mostly likable character, especially the central characters. I was just not invested enough in their well-being to care too much how things ended for them.
