Finished: Gone Girl (Flynn). omg, I couldn't put this book down! A book set in current times. A seemingly ideal, young husband and wife are about to celebrate their 5th wedding anniversary when suddenly the wife goes missing. Of course, the husband, Nick, becomes the prime suspect as horrifying evidence and public opinion start piling up against him. His wife, Amy, has disappeared with the front door wide open, the iron still turned on, her blood sloppily wiped up off the kitchen floor, and Nick with no alibi to account for his time. Having met and fallen in love in New York, their first three years of married life have been dreamy, but when they both lose their jobs as writers (as the evil Internet has made magazine jobs obsolete), and, when Nick's beloved mother back in Missouri is suddenly diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, Nick and Amy pack up and move to Missouri and their relationship starts to disintegrate. The book chapters alternate between first Nick's point of view and then Amy's, slowly revealing what has really happened and who, if anyone, is the real psycho. I loved this book and all I can think now is will they make a movie of it?? :-) Off to look up what other books Gillian Flynn has written!
