Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
This is an older book I picked up at a book sale and I remembered that the book had been made into a movie which had been very successful. I also noted that there was also a real life murder enquiry that went on this year that seemed to follow the pattern of this book so I thought I’d better read it and find out why it had held everyone's attention.
It is a murder/mystery enquiry. A young wife goes missing and when there are no clues to her disappearance, her husband is suspected as being involved as is often the case. He claims he is totally innocent of any crime but is he?
The book delves into the past relationship of the couple, the ups and downs of their marriage and the police enquiry, until a solution to the mystery is found . It is told as if it is written by the wife and the husband separately in different chapters and so the complete story unfolds from 2 different angles - an interesting way to write a book.
It certainly holds your interest and has a surprising ending and like all good books, keeps your attention until the very end.
It was well worth reading and I shall look out for other books by this author.
