A lone survivor of her family's murder is forced to face the fact she doesn't know the whole truth.
With alternating chapters set in present and the night of the murders, it is a creepy ride as you slowly discover the truth as the narrator dives deeper into that fateful night.
The book starts a little slow and the motivation to get Libby to start investigating the murders is a bit weak but once it starts I found myself needing to know the truth.

Gillian Flynn is great at having unlikeable female characters, which is refreshing.

Having previously read the author’s best seller, I figured I had a firm grasp on where this story was headed. I was SO wrong. I had a difficult time putting the book down, but I needed to take “breaks” from the truly dark nature of this novel.
The story is so carefully thought out, heartbreaking, and nerve-wracking. I had a clear image of the setting and the character development was strong.

I've read it, and I'm not going to read it again.

Awesome! So fast paced and better than Sharp Objects! Take a bow Gillian Flynn.
