THE BOOK THAT DEFINES PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER
Who are you?
What have we done to each other?
What are you thinking, Amy?' The question I've asked most often during our marriage, if not out loud, if not to the person who could answer. I suppose these questions storm cloud over every marriage: 'What are you thinking? How are you feeling? Who are you? What have we done to each other? What will we do?' Just how well can you ever know the person you love? This is the question that Nick Dunne must ask himself on the morning of his fifth wedding anniversary when his wife Amy suddenly disappears.
The police immediately suspect Nick. 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 show strange searches. He says they aren't his. And then there are the persistent calls on his mobile phone. So, what really did happen to Nick's beautiful wife? And what was in that half-wrapped box left so casually on their marital bed? In this novel, marriage truly is the art of war...
Richard Madeley review
Boy, this is dark. Gone Girl is brilliantly written and plotted; nothing is what it seems. The story twists and turns about itself, and is full of contradictions that are then resolved. It is impossible to put down.
Gradually, the reader begins to agree with police suspicions that Nick has murdered Amy. He tells lies to the cops; not whoppers, but inconsequential fibs that begin to make you wonder exactly what he's playing at.
Judy Finnigan review
Amy goes missing. Their front door is open, the coffee table shattered, books scattered around. Amy is a rich, trust fund New Yorker, but the recession has left Nick redundant from his job as a magazine writer. The couple has moved back to his old home in Missouri, which Amy hates.
Nick calls the police they question him and again his tone is dark, ambivalent. I felt myself enacting the Concerned Husband, he says wasn't sure what to say now. I raked my memory for the lines. What does the husband say at this point in the movie? Depends on whether he's guilty or innocent.??
Exactly. And the police soon begin to suspect he is guilty.
