color: #cc6600; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em;"> Book Description</h2> Marriage can be a real killer. <br /> One of the most critically acclaimed suspense writers of our time, New York Times bestseller Gillian Flynn takes that statement to its darkest place in this unputdownable masterpiece about a marriage gone terribly, terribly wrong. The Chicago Tribune proclaimed that her work “draws you in and keeps you reading with the force of a pure but nasty addiction.” Gone Girl’s toxic mix of sharp-edged wit and deliciously chilling prose creates a nerve-fraying thriller that confounds you at every turn. <br /> On a warm summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and Amy Dunne’s fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reservations are being made when Nick’s clever and beautiful wife disappears from their rented McMansion on the Mississippi River. Husband-of-the-Year Nick isn’t doing himself any favors with cringe-worthy daydreams about the slope and shape of his wife’s head, but passages from Amy's diary reveal the alpha-girl perfectionist could have put anyone dangerously on edge. Under mounting pressure from the police and the media—as well as Amy’s fiercely doting parents—the town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and he’s definitely bitter—but is he really a killer? <br /> As the cops close in, every couple in town is soon wondering how well they know the one that they love. With his twin sister, Margo, at his side, Nick stands by his innocence. Trouble is, if Nick didn’t do it, where is that beautiful wife? And what was in that silvery gift box hidden in the back of her bedroom closet?<br /> With her razor-sharp writing and trademark psychological insight, Gillian Flynn delivers a fast-paced, devilishly dark, and ingeniously plotted thriller that confirms her status as one of the hottest writers around.<br /> <span class="Apple-style-span"><span style="color: purple; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></span> <span class="Apple-style-span"><span style="color: purple; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></span> <span class="Apple-style-span"></span><br /> <h3 class="productDescriptionSource" style="background-color: white; clear: left; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1.23em; font-weight: normal; margin: 0.75em 0px 0.375em -15px;"> <span class="Apple-style-span">Review</span></h3> "A perfect wife's disappearance plunges her husband into a nightmare as it rips open ugly secrets about his marriage and, just maybe, his culpability in her death... One of those rare thrillers whose revelations actually intensify its suspense instead of dissipating it. The final pages are chilling." --"Kirkus "(starred review) <br /> "[W]hat looks like a straightforward case of a husband killing his wife to free himself from a bad marriage morphs into something entirely different in Flynn's hands. As evidenced by her previous work (Sharp Objects, 2006, and Dark Places, 2009), she possesses a disturbing worldview, one considerably amped up by her twisted sense of humor. Both a compelling thriller and a searing portrait of marriage, this could well be Flynn's breakout novel. It contains so many twists and turns that the outcome is impossible to predict." --"Booklist "(starred review) <br /> "Flynn cements her place among that elite group of mystery/thriller writers who unfailingly deliver the goods...Once again Flynn has written an intelligent, gripping tour de force, mixing a riveting plot and psychological intrigue with a compelling prose style that unobtrusively yet forcefully carries the reader from page to page." --"Library Journal "(starred review) <br /> "Flynn masterfully lets this tale of a marriage gone toxically wrong gradually emerge through alternating accounts by Nick and Amy, both unreliable narrators in their own ways. The reader comes to discover their layers of deceit through a process similar to that at work in the imploding relationship. Compulsively readable, creepily unforgettable, this is a must read for any fan of bad girls and good writing." --"Publishers Weekly" (starred review) <br /> ""Gone Girl" is one of the best -and most frightening -portraits of psychopathy I've ever read. Nick and Amy manipulate each other -with savage, merciless and often darkly witty dexterity. This is a wonderful and terrifying book about how the happy surface nor<span class="Apple-style-span"></span><br /> <div class="productDescriptionWrapper" style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; margin: 0px 0px 1em;"> <span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div> <span class="Apple-style-span"> </span><div class="productDescriptionWrapper" style="background-color: white; margin: 0px 0px 1em;"> <span class="Apple-style-span"><div style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"></span></span></div> <h3 class="item_desc_title" style="border-width: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 12px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"> <b style="border-width: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Book Summary of Gone Girl</b></span></span></h3> </span><br /><br />From New York Times bestselling author Gillian Flynn, a twisted novel of literary suspense, and her most ambitious to date.<br />On the morning of their fifth wedding anniversary, Nick's wife, Amy, has disappeared.
