Gone Girl

I read Fanny Hill on my phone and when I finished, I needed something easy and gripping. I was browsing my library's e-book selections and found Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl was available and could be downloaded to my phone. I'd heard enough murmurings about the novel that I was intrigued to check it out. I was not disappointed.

Flynn sets up a fantastic thriller with interesting characters and fresh plot twists. The story focuses on the marriage of Nick and Amy, a couple that was once so in love but whose marriage has soured. Amy goes missing on the couple's anniversary and the novel explores what happened through the use of the two character perspectives. That's all I will describe about the story as the reading experience is best if the reader has no more information than that. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. Flynn writes well and still delivers a page turning story. Once I got to a certain point I could not put the book down and finished it much quicker than I've been able to finish books lately. Next time I'm looking for a nice escape read, I will definitely check out another one of Flynn's novels.
