I think I'm just going to mark this one as completed. I went ahead and read the last 20 pages or so in order to spoil myself for the ending, because I needed to know who done it. And now that I have I'm not sure it's worth it to read the rest of the novel. I can't see that Flynn is doing anything in...

It was okay. More cohesive than Sharp Objects, not as good as Gone Girl.

Completely satisfying. Characters developed so I felt I knew them. I don't take that away from a lot of books. This is one I didn't want to end, I wanted to stay in this world, dysfunctional as it is.

Whatever this author writes, I will read. Her ability to weave a super dark story that keeps you guessing throughout is unmatched.

Four star book with such a weak ending that I found I had to take a star away.

Libby Day is almost the sole survivor of the massacre of her family; the other is her brother, Ben, convicted nearly twenty-five years previously for the killings, based largely, she believes, on her testimony as a scared and coached seven year-old girl. Equal measures of fear and guilt keep her fro...
