NOW AN HBO® LIMITED SERIES STARRING AMY ADAMS, NOMINATED FOR EIGHT EMMY AWARDS, INCLUDING OUTSTANDING LIMITED SERIES FROM THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF GONE GIRL
Fresh from a brief stay at a psych hospital, reporter Camille Preaker faces a troubling assignment: she must return to her tiny hometown to cover the murders of two preteen girls. For years, Camille has hardly spoken to her neurotic, hypochondriac mother or to the half-sister she barely knows: a beautiful thirteen-year-old with an eerie grip on the town. Now, installed in her old bedroom in her family's Victorian mansion, Camille finds herself identifying with the young victims--a bit too strongly. Dogged by her own demons, she must unravel the psychological puzzle of her own past if she wants to get the story--and survive this homecoming.

I was craving some horror/thriller reading, and had seen Flynn's book Gone Girl just about everywhere, but this one felt more intriguing. I haven't read a page-turner like this in a while. Creepy as hell, interesting (and very flawed) protagonist. Something about the storytelling that I can't put my finger on just worked for me–I read it in a day, basically, which I haven't done with any book in a long time. It's definitely a book that should come with a bunch of trigger warnings–but if you like your thrillers sick and twisted, pick it up.
