\r\nBy Gillian Flynn<\/a><\/br>\r\n[myrating]\r\n<\/div>
\n On a warm summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and Amy Dunne\u2019s fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reservations are being made when Nick\u2019s clever and beautiful wife disappears from their rented McMansion on the Mississippi River. Husband-of-the-Year Nick isn\u2019t doing himself any favors with cringe-worthy daydreams about the slope and shape of his wife\u2019s head, but passages from Amy’s diary reveal the alpha-girl perfectionist could have put anyone dangerously on edge. Under mounting pressure from the police and the media\u2014as well as Amy\u2019s fiercely doting parents\u2014the town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and he\u2019s definitely bitter\u2014but is he really a killer?
\n As the cops close in, every couple in town is soon wondering how well they know the one that they love. With his twin sister, Margo, at his side, Nick stands by his innocence. Trouble is, if Nick didn\u2019t do it, where is that beautiful wife? And what was in that silvery gift box hidden in the back of her bedroom closet?
\n With her razor-sharp writing and trademark psychological insight, Gillian Flynn delivers a fast-paced, devilishly dark, and ingeniously plotted thriller that confirms her status as one of the hottest writers around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
