There’s something about crime stories we’re all drawn to. It’s the thrill we get when reading and can’t wait for the next page to see what happens. We’re nervous or anxious but are cuddled up on our couch with a hot chocolate completely safe.
Gone Girl is a very intense and shocking thriller. Nick and Amy Dunne appear to have the perfect marriage after the perfect courtship. On the day of their fifth anniversary though, it seems like things have been unraveling for awhile, and when Amy goes missing all fingers start pointing at Nick. Amy is the world's darling, having grown up as the inspiration for her parents' series of children's books featuring Amazing Amy.
Nick and Amy find each other in NYC. He's a journalist and a small town southern boy, sensitive and genteel. She is the bright and confident daughter of writer/parents who used her as the inspiration for their best selling young reader's series, Amazing Amy. She also does a little bit of writing on the side.
