Gone Girl / Gillian Flynn / 415 pages

Wow, this author has you right where she wants you throughout this psychological thriller.  She very cleverly develops her characters and reveals each in alternate chapters.  In the first part of the book, we get to know Nick whose wife Amy goes missing on their 5th wedding anniversary.  His story covers the present as the police start looking at him as a possible murderer while we see Amy's viewpoint from the past.  Eventually their two stories merge, and we get a better picture of who Amy really is.  Believe it or not, the book takes place in Carthage, MO.  By the end of the book, you will be looking at your spouse and thinking, who is that guy?  Highly recommended.
