Editorial Reviews
Amazon Best Books of the Month, June 2012: On the day
of their fifth wedding anniversary, Nick's wife Amy disappears. There
are signs of struggle in the house and Nick quickly becomes the prime
suspect. It doesn't help that Nick hasn't been completely honest with
the police and, as Amy's case drags out for weeks, more and more
vilifying evidence appears against him. Nick, however, maintains his
innocence. Told from alternating points of view between Nick and Amy,
Gillian Flynn creates an untrustworthy world that changes
chapter-to-chapter.
Calling Gone Girl a psychological thriller is an understatement. As revelation after revelation unfolds, it becomes clear that the truth does not exist in the middle of Nick and Amy's points of view; in fact, the truth is far more dark, more twisted, and more creepy than you can imagine. Gone Girl is masterfully plotted from start to finish and the suspense doesn't waver for one page. It's one of those books you will feel the need to discuss immediately after finishing because the ending doesn't just come; it punches you in the gut. --Caley Anderson
Review
“Ice-pick-sharp… Spectacularly sneaky… Impressively cagey… Gone Girl is Ms. Flynn’s dazzling breakthrough. It is wily, mercurial, subtly layered and populated by characters so well imagined that they’re hard to part with — even if, as in Amy’s case, they are already departed. And if you have any doubts about whether Ms. Flynn measures up to Patricia Highsmith’s level of discreet malice, go back and look at the small details. Whatever you raced past on a first reading will look completely different the second time around.” —Janet Maslin, New York Times
