I felt like I was home again.

Interesting story and I liked getting different points of views from the characters. Flynn writes in a way that makes it easy to visualize the settings and characters. Definitely a slow burn, and would recommend it, but I liked Sharp Objects and Gone Girl better.

Another great thriller from the author Gillian Flynn! It has a slow build, but will pay off in the end. It was easy to put down at first, but as you get about half way through it things pick up where you feel like finishing it feverishly. Not her best novel, I liked "Gone Girl" more. I think it's pretty neat that the author has the setting in MO.

I still love Gone Girl the most. I would classify this as a slow-burn mystery thriller rather than a shocking thriller. I liked how I was half right with my guess. She wrote a main character that I cared about, which is great! She tackled some interesting subject matter, I'm really happy she seems to have done great research on the Satanic Panic and Criminal fan clubs. Her depictions of both subjects were interesting, well done, and easy to read about surprisingly. Weirdly enough, you were sad for everyone by the end of the book, even the culprit. I like the fact that the problems of a boy not growing up with a good male role model were here, the problems with fan girls of suspected murderers, the drawbacks of telling lies that will mess up your future because of how it weighs down on you the rest of your life.

Someone told me that Gillian Flynn has somewhat of a formula for her stories. I definitely saw what they meant when I read this book after reading "Sharp Objects." However, it was a very fascinating read with a unique plot line following very mysterious characters. Throughout the book, I kept of shifting who I thought was responsible for the murder of the Day family... mark of a great story!

4/5 on Amazon. Same author as Gone Girl. I think I watched this movie. Family killed as a little girl, she testified against brother, as adult finds out truth.

Not just Dark Places, but Very Dark Places. I didn’t really like this book very much. Hard to enjoy a book when you don’t like any of the characters. It was a good job by the narrators & a well written book. Just not my cup of tea.

Wow. Another very dark and very engrossing offering from this author. Her first, Sharp Objects, was probably more jarring and shocking, and therefore more memorable, but this was also an excellent read. Libby was an infuriating and unlikable "heroine," but I kept my hopes up about her nevertheless. I won't reveal if that panned out or not. If you like an edgy and unsettling thriller, you'll like this.

I finished it, but it was difficult to get thru. No my favorite read.

This book is pretty depressing. It was kind of hard to get through. The story moved slowly.
