Amy's friends reveal that she was afraid of him, that she kept secrets from him. He swears it isn't true. A police examination of his computer shows strange searches.

GILLIAN FLYNN is the author of the #1 SUNDAY TIMES bestseller GONE GIRL, for which she wrote the Golden Globe-nominated screenplay, and the SUNDAY TIMES bestsellers DARK PLACES and SHARP OBJECTS. A former critic for ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY, she lives in Chicago with her husband and children.

Flynn, an extraordinarily good
writer, plays her readers with the finesse and delicacy of an expert angler.
She wields her unreliable narrators to stunning effect, baffling, disturbing and
delighting in turn, practically guaranteeing an immediate reread once her
terrifying, wonderful conclusion is reached... an early contender for thriller
of the year, and an absolute must-read.
THE OBSERVER - Alison Flood

These voices are wonderfully authentic, to the point where the reader becomes a gawker at the full-spectrum of marital dysfunction.
Excellent.
THE GUARDIAN - John O'Connor

Gone Girl is superbly constructed, ingeniously paced and absolutely terrifying... a Five-star suspense mystery.
READERS' DIGEST - AN Wilson

in this riveting noirish thriller and intense dissection of a marriage, nothing is as it seems.
WOMAN AND HOME

Flynn keeps the accelerator firmly to the floor, ratcheting up the tension with wildly unexpected plot twists, contradictory stories and the tantalising feeling that nothing is as it seems.
Deviously good.
MARIE CLAIRE

Read it and stay single.
FINANCIAL TIMES

funny, cunning thriller... the tale takes some stomach-churning turns, right to its chilling conclusion
PSYCHOLOGIES

A chilling, stylish read about another unknowable woman
ELLE

Flynn has created a gripping tale and a page-turner.
LITERARY REVIEW

Immensely dark and deeply intelligent, Gone Girl is a book about how well one
person can truly know another
METRO

Flynn is a brilliantly accomplished psychological crime writer and this latest
book is so dark, so twisted and so utterly compelling that it actually messes
with your mind
DAILY MAIL - Carla McKay

You think you're reading a good, conventional thriller and then it grows into a
fascinating portrait of one averagely mismatched relationship...Nothing's as it
seems - Flynn is a fabulous plotter, and a very sharp observer of modern life in
the aftermath of the credit crunch
THE TIMES - Kate Saunders

Flynn's portrait of a woman trying to please an impossible husband is subtly drawn, but there are hints that all is not as it seems. One version of events hides another in a novel that cleverly manipulates the reader
SUNDAY TIMES - Joan Smith

definitely a contender for thriller of the year... Flynn is, without a doubt, at the front of the pack of American thriller writers.
THE INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY - Doug Johnstone

In what is so much more than a straightforward crime novel (with a mid-story
twist so shocking you'll drop the book), Flynn unpicks the minutiae of the
couple's personalities and relationship
EASY LIVING

A chilling tale of a hip, New
York couple's failing marriage: smart, suspenseful and
brilliantly written, Gone Girl is a class act
THE INDEPENDENT

a terrifically intelligent thriller with a gasp-inducing twist
GOOD HOUSEKEEPING

she skillfully manages to sustain tension and uncertainty to the end, as well as
presenting a beautiful portrait of marriage disintegration
THE TIMES - Marcel Berlins

This is Flynn's third novel and she's more than found her voice, creating taut,
thrilling, deeply intense narratives about characters very much on the edge
DAILY MIRROR - Henry Sutton

a near-masterpiece.
Flynn is an extraordinary writer who, with every sentence, makes words do things that other writers merely dream of"
SUNDAY EXPRESS - Sophie Hannah

Ms Flynn's latest novel of psychological suspense will confound anyone trying to keep up with her quicksilver mind and diabolical rules of play
INTERNATIONAL HERALD TRIBUNE

Just about everyone I meet, and everyone on Twitter, is telling me it's brilliant, so I can't wait to see what the fuss is all about.
SUNDAY EXPRESS - S.J Watson

Gripping thriller: Nick's wife, Amy, is missing and he's a suspect.
The story is told by Nick, then Amy, but who's telling the truth?
ESSENTIALS

A brilliant switchback ride, you'll beg others to read it so you can discuss it with them
IRISH MAIL ON SUNDAY - John Williams
