Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

Holy cow!

Writing a review for this book without giving anything away will be tricky so this may be a shorter review.

Nick and Amy are just hours away from celebrating their 5th wedding anniversary when Nick, still at work, gets a call from his neighbor that his cat is outside.  When Nick arrives home, he finds that not only is his cat outside but that his front door is wide open and his wife is missing.

The police arrive, a report is filed, the crime scene examined and Nick is continually repeating his innocence.  However, no matter what Nick says he still becomes the prime suspect because Amy is so very clever and not just clever but patient.

The story is unimaginable and I'm now afraid of the author Gillian Flynn because for her to make up with this story is scary.

Definite recommend!
