Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn
4.0
Camille Preaker has been in a psych hospital but is given a big assignment shortly after her release - return to her hometown and cover the murders of two preteen girls. While there, she stays in the home she grew up in and where She was never wanted and where she grew up in the shadow of her dead sister and why she remains there under her new sister. While working on her report, she starts to see similarities between the sickness of her sister and the dead girls. Camille slowly comes to realize the truth, and it answers all of her questions about her childhood.
I haven't read anything by Gillian Flynn since Gone Girl because the premise shook me. This was a dark read with somewhat of a twist. I had worked out the who but not the why. None of the characters was likable, but I think I think Flynn did that by design. The interwining between camille's dead sister and the murdered girls was due slowly, but when the connection was made it made perfect sense.
