Dark Places by Gillian Flynn
3.0
One thing Gillian Flynn knows how to write better than anyone is messed up women...
If you are interested in true crime and have read books or listened to podcasts about the "satanic panic" in the 80s and 90s, this story is taking place due to the consequences of that (along with a lot of other unfortunate circumstances).
There are a few really disturbing sequences (the cow...yikes), but overall it's more of a mystery format.
I did listen to the audiobook for this one - narration was great! However, if you're new to Flynn's work, I would start with "Sharp Objects". I definitely enjoyed this book for a weekend read. 3/5 Stars overall.
