About this listen

When two girls are abducted and killed in Missouri, journalist Camille Preaker is sent back to her home town to report on the crimes. Long haunted by a childhood tragedy and estranged from her mother for years, Camille suddenly finds herself installed once again in her family's mansion, reacquainting herself with her distant mother and the half sister she barely knows - a precocious 13-year-old who holds a disquieting grip on the town.

As Camille works to uncover the truth about these violent crimes, she finds herself identifying with the young victims - a bit too strongly. Clues keep leading to dead ends, forcing Camille to unravel the psychological puzzle of her own past to get at the story. Dogged by her own demons, Camille will have to confront what happened to her years before if she wants to survive this homecoming.

Very interesting. Author helps you get to know each character intricately which really draws you in. Very sad in parts & upsetting but interesting & captivating all the same. I really enjoyed this book and Gillian Flynn's 2 other novels Dark Places & Gone Girl. Stories of psychologically damaged females seem to be a recurring theme across all books.

Excellent

Lacking a lot of depth and a pretty cliched look at a lot of really prevalent issues is self harm. Good performance though.

An average attempt at a layered book

It’s difficult to sum up how I feel about this audiobook. The voices and accents were quite grating at times which affected the overall feel of the story. The story was interesting but I can’t see myself ever reading/listening again.

An interesting read

This is the first book by Gillian Flynn I have read, maybe if I had read others I wouldn't have been surprised, however it is a very negative story full of disturbing details. Those details are interesting though and thorough character development make the story gripping. Its just overall not something I want to fill my head with.

Gripping yet disturbing.

This is another of Gillian Flynn's disturbing murder mysteries where a damaged protagonist is confronted with murder.

I enjoy her writing, she manages to pack so much plot into one book. The characters are well formed, settings superb. Her writing is concise and particular. Thoroughly enjoyable to listen to, although this one was a little shorter.

I recommend this book and all her others!

Disturbingly wonderful
