By Gillian
Flynn
Crown,
2012. 419 pgs. Mystery
On
the morning of their five-year wedding anniversary, Nick’s beautiful and
brilliant wife, Amy, disappears from their beautiful mansion on the Mississippi
River. Signs
of a struggle seem to be the only clues left, and the police have little to go
on as a search begins in earnest. Nick is desperate to find her and to become
the husband he knows she deserves. Amy
speaks from a journal chronicling their idyllic courtship and early years of
marriage. What follows is a terrifying look at the impact the media can have on
the direction of an investigation. Everyone knows the husband is often guilty
and Nick has many secrets. Then again, so does Amy.
This
is a psychological thriller of the highest order. Flynn presents characters you
love to hate and hate to leave behind with the turning of that final page. Be
prepared for some strong language and know that if you pick it up, you won’t
want to put it down as you uncover the truth beneath the many layers of lies.
