Gone Girl – Gillian Flynn

Gillian Flynn’s first two books dealt with solitary women trying to deal with a world that seemed to be fighting against them.  In Gone Girl, her third novel, she spreads her wings a bit by dealing with dueling protagonists, a wife who has gone missing on her 5th anniversary and the husband accused of murdering her.

Flynn expertly keeps the story twisting and turning, making you both root for and despise Nick Dunne as he both searches for his missing wife while lying to the police about his whereabouts the morning his wife disappeared.  With each outing, Flynn seems to grow as an author and has certainly moved to the top of the must-read list whenever she has a new offering.
