I read Flynn's books backwards: Gone Girl then Dark Places, then this, her debut novel. It makes sense, then, I think that I liked this one the least though I still enjoyed it. I love Flynn's flawed narrators. And she writes CREEPY really well. Her descriptions sometimes give me goosebumps. I think the central mystery was a bit obvious from a certain point in the book, though there were a few surprises. The ending seemed to tie up incredibly fast after the slow, prodding pace of the rest of the book. Still: enjoyable.
