4.5/5 Stars
After a brief stay at a psychiatric hospital, Camille Preaker, a newspaper journalist in Chicago is assigned a case in her home town of Wind Gap covering the murder of two local girls. Camille finds herself at her Mother's home, who she hasn't talked to in several years. The longer she stays in Wind Gap, the more she relates to these two dead preteens and remembers certain events from her childhood. As Camille tries to navigate between her mother, the half-sister she barely knows and the investigation, she soon realises that Wind Gap may not be good for her mental health.
I was able to call who the murderer was, which is the reason I dropped half a star. Although I still really enjoyed the story. I also dropped the half star because the book was very gruesome and I have a very weak stomach with gore so at times it was hard to read. Gillian's writing style is so unique and eerie, I loved every second of it and was instantly hooked right from the first page. Each character was more disturbed than the next and made the story one that was impossible to put down
