This book will make you squirm; it will make you not want to read the next chapter and it will make you want to strangle everyone in it. But it WILL engage you and you will finish it and it will stay with you and I'm willing to bet that when you're done you'll then get on the internet and buy her first two books which are better in some ways, Dark Places and Sharp objects. However it is a brilliant, page-turning, un-put-downable thriller. Set in present day US, the plot concerns the disappearance and presumed murder of a young woman by her husband. The narrative takes the form of an interleaving of his present-day reaction to the news of his wife's disappearance with fragments from her diary, from their first meeting to present. The reader has his expectations overturned time and time again, as the author repeatedly manipulates his understanding of the facts and his emotional reaction to them. Clever,Hitchcock is back!Read full review
Decent book. I definitely recommend reading it before the movie though, or becomes a little predictable.
