From Publishers Weekly
Flynn gives new meaning to the term "dysfunctional family" in her chilling debut thriller. Camille Preaker, once institutionalized for youthful self-mutilation, now works for a third-rung Chicago newspaper. When a young girl is murdered and mutilated and another disappears in Camille's hometown of Wind Gap, Mo., her editor, eager for a scoop, sends her there for a human-interest story. Though the police, including Richard Willis, a profiler from Kansas City, Mo., say they suspect a transient, Camille thinks the killer is local. Interviewing old acquaintances and newcomers, she relives her disturbed childhood, gradually uncovering family secrets as gruesome as the scars beneath her clothing. The horror creeps up slowly, with Flynn misdirecting the reader until the shocking, dreadful and memorable double ending. She writes fluidly of smalltown America, though many characters are clichés hiding secrets. Flynn, the lead TV critic for Entertainment Weekly, has already garnered blurbs from Stephen King and Harlan Coben. 5-city author tour; foreign rights sold in 10 countries. (Oct.)

Children from dysfunctional families – victims? perpetrators? or both? When love goes wrong, one tends to hurt things – oneself, animals, human-beings. What goes around comes around. Love is the only meaning of life. But what is love? Not everyone knows...

I still find self abuse incomprehensible...
评分我覺得就disturbing程度來說，gone girl的前半部分是最disturbing的，其次是dark places, 看gone girl和dark places的時候我都有需要屏住呼吸來讀的片段, 倒是sharp objects是最柔和的一部。
评分看Flynn的書是按照齣版順序倒過來看的，原來她的三本書Disturbing程度是遞減的，到Gone Girl已經非常主流瞭。
