A compelling story which will grab hold of you with that now infamous first sentence.
Gillian Flynn shows her powerful craft in her second novel, told through the narrative of Libby Day (the survivor of a massacre which stole her of her family). The book also flashes back to tell the tale from the point of view of Patty Day (Libby's late mother) and Ben Day (Libby's brother, convicted - erroneously? - of the murders). As the novel progresses, the reader is transported into the minds of these three characters who present us with the day leading up to the grisly crime.
A wonderful, wonderful read. Gritty, stark, with the teeth and stunning force of a piranha.
