Description

NOW AN HBO® LIMITED SERIES STARRING AMY ADAMS, NOMINATED FOR EIGHT EMMY AWARDS, INCLUDING OUTSTANDING LIMITED SERIES

FROM THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF GONE GIRL

Fresh from a brief stay at a psych hospital, reporter Camille Preaker faces a troubling assignment: she must return to her tiny hometown to cover the murders of two preteen girls. For years, Camille has hardly spoken to her neurotic, hypochondriac mother or to the half-sister she barely knows: a beautiful thirteen-year-old with an eerie grip on the town. Now, installed in her old bedroom in her family's Victorian mansion, Camille finds herself identifying with the young victims—a bit too strongly. Dogged by her own demons, she must unravel the psychological puzzle of her own past if she wants to get the story—and survive this homecoming.

    Principal character unlikeable if not totally repulsive. Written in the sloppy style that now seems to be “in”.
  • So good!

    Can see it coming the whole book. Seems like the same thing over and over and a lot of useless information.
  • Don’t go there

    Depends on how much ugliness you can tolerate. A truly nasty cast of characters, disgusting plot, more sex than needed to advance the storyline. Rather regret that I wasted time reading it.I tried to give it one star but it wasn’t possible.
  • Don’t bother

    Should have flipped to the end mid way to save the time of actually reading but kept hoping for a twist. As soon as you think you know who did it- but this down because your correct.
  • Amazing

    I finished this book days ago & I can’t stop thinking about it. A slow burn that kept my attention throughout. I did not want this book to end.
  • WOW!

    Very good read. Enjoyed the hints of romance and interesting details about each of the characters. Good foreshadowing along with a great plot twist.
  • Good enough

    I felt like this book drug on a little longer than necessary. Some elements they really focused on that I felt didn’t really add to the story, but kind of made it even moreweird. All in all, I enjoyed the read.
