Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
4.0

When Amy disappears on their 5th wedding anniversary, it's only natural that Nick is the prime suspect. As Nick untangles the scavenger hunt web that Amy has left, it's clear that she has finally set him up.

Dark, but not completely unfamiliar. We see inside the mind of a psychopath - everything is fullproof, the choosing of personalities, everything is precise. It's delightfully dark, and we eat it up because we want to know more. Flynn does a great job of keeping up the suspense, drawing you in, and making sure you don't *quite* know who to hate more. Recommended.
