Product Information
Marriage can be a real killer. One of the most critically acclaimed suspense writers of our time, New York Times bestseller Gillian Flynn takes that statement to its darkest place in this unputdownable masterpiece about a marriage gone terribly, terribly wrong. The Chicago Tribune proclaimed that her work "draws you in and keeps you reading with the force of a pure but nasty addiction." Gone Girl's toxic mix of sharp-edged wit and deliciously chilling prose creates a nerve-fraying thriller that confounds you at every turn. On a warm summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and Amy Dunne's fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reservations are being made when Nick's clever and beautiful wife disappears from their rented McMansion on the Mississippi River. Husband-of-the-Year Nick isn't doing himself any favors with cringe-worthy daydreams about the slope and shape of his wife's head, but passages from Amy's diary reveal the alpha-girl perfectionist could have put anyone dangerously on edge. Under mounting pressure from the police and the media--as well as Amy's fiercely doting parents--the town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and he's definitely bitter--but is he really a killer. As the cops close in, every couple in town is soon wondering how well they know the one that they love. With his twin sister,Margo, at his side, Nick stands by his innocence. Trouble is, if Nick didn't do it, where is that beautiful wife? And what was in that silvery gift box hidden in the back of her bedroom closet? With her razor-sharp writing and trademark psychological insight, Gillian Flynn delivers a fast-paced, devilishly dark,and ingeniously plotted thriller that confirms her status as one of the hottest writers around.

Reviews              A People Magazine Best Book of the Year New York Times Janet Maslin''s 10Favorite Books of 2012 Edgar Award Nominee for Best Novel Anthony Award Nominee for Best Novel "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 "An ingenious and viperish thriller... It''s going to make Gillian Flynn a star...A great, breathless read...Flynn has created a genuinely creepy villain you don''t see coming. People love to talk about the banality of evil. You''re about to meet a maniac you could fall in love with." -- Jeff Giles,Entertainment Weekly "An irresistible summer thriller with a twisting plot worthy of Alfred Hitchcock. Burrowing deep into the murkiest corners of the human psyche, this delectable summer read will give you the creeps and keep you on edge until the last page." --People (four stars) "[A] thoroughbred thriller about the nature of identity and the terrible secrets that can survive and thrive in even the most intimate relationships. Gone Girl begins as a whodunit, but by the end it will have you wondering whether there''s any such thing as a who at all." -- Lev Grossman, Time "How did things get so bad? That''s the reason to read this book. Gillian Flynn -- whose award-winning Dark Places and Sharp Objects also shone a dark light on weird and creepy, not to mention uber dysfunctional characters -- delves this time into what happens when two people marry and one spouse has no idea who their beloved really is." -- USA Today, Carol Memmott "It''s simply fantastic: terrifying,darkly funny and at times moving. The minute I finished it I wanted to start it all over again. Admirers of Gillian Flynn''s previous books, Sharp Objects and Dark Places , will be ecstatic over Gone Girl , her most intricately twisted and deliciously sinister story, dangerous for any reader who prefers to savor a novel as opposed to consuming it whole in one sitting...." -- Associated Press, Michelle Weiner "Gillian Flynn''s third novel is both breakneck-paced thriller and masterful dissection of marital breakdown...Wickedly plotted and surprisingly thoughtful, this is a terrifically good read." -- Boston Globe "That adage of no one knows what goes on behind closed doors moves the plot of Gone Girl , Gillian Flynn''s suspenseful psychological thriller... Flynn''s unpredictable plot of Gone Girl careens down an emotional highway where this couple dissects their marriage with sharpacumen... Flynn has shown her skills at gripping tales and enhanced character studies since her debut Sharp Objects , which garnered an Edgar nod, among other nominations. Her second novel Dark Places made numerous best of lists.Gone Girl reaffirms her talent." -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel , OlineCogdill "A great crime novel, however, is an unstable thing, entertainment and literature suspended in some undetermined solution. Take Gillian Flynn''s Gone Girl , the third novel by one of a trio of contemporary women writers (the others are Kate Atkinson and Tana French) who are kicking the genre into a higher gear... You couldn''t say that this is a crime novel that''s ultimately about a marriage, which would make it a literary novel in disguise. The crime and the marriage are inseparable.
