Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

Synopsis :

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. 

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?

This is what I say :

Gone Girl is an insanely psychotic thriller that delivers from all front.  Having read Dark Places end of last year and thoroughly enjoyed it, I was very eager to get my hands on Gone Girl which is sitting on my shelf.

Gone Girl is better than Dark Places in my humble opinion.  The characters are more animated and surprising much darker and the persona of psychoticism is very much hidden.

Both Nick and Amy are pretty strong characters but I can't decide who is more psychotic.  I think they are both equally psychotic towards the end of the book.

The story line is rather unique and pretty mess up in a good way where thriller is concerned.  It is really a most interesting read and I was actually quite surprised that  the author has only three titles under her name.  So far, I have read two of it and watch the Netflix of the other.

Gone Girl has also been made into a movie which starts Ben Affleck as Nick.  I shall be checking it out soon.
