Camille Preaker is a reporter who is sent back to her hometown to cover a story about a missing ten-year-old girl and the unsolved murder of another girl. Camille hasn't been home in years. She is estranged from her mother and barely knows her half-sister Amma. She interviews various people in town as she tries to sort through her feelings about her mother.
I've decided that this author is not for me. It's the second book that I've read by Flynn. I didn't like either of them. The characters in this book are unlikable. I thought both Camille and Amma were ridiculous characters. The subject matter (self-harm, child abuse, dysfunctional family, sexualization of children) was very dark. The mystery wasn't very interesting at all. I thought the identity of the killer was obvious and predictable. I'm glad I got this book from the library and didn't waste money on it. This is the first book I finished in 2024. Thankfully, my reading experience can only get better from here. My rating: 1 Star.
