What Members Thought
Libby is not a likable character at all. She's bitter, irresponsible, rude, and just plain mean. When you consider what she went through at the age of seven, however, it makes sense. Her two sisters and mother were brutally killed, and she's been sure her brother did it for the last twenty-five years. She even testified that he did it back than, even thought she didn't actually see anything. So, her brother, Ben, has been in prison all this time. Now, when faced with having no money, Libby looks

A Fun Read
I really needed a book I could just escape into — but still be really well written. This was that book. Libby was such a great character, I loved her dialogue & moral wrestling.

Really about 3 and half stars. It had a good set up and the chapters jumping back and forth from present day to the day of the murders increased the tension. The way it ended let me down but I couldn't stop reading until the end.

Dark and twisted, but definitely a good read. Not quite as engrossing as Gone Girl, but still an excellent story.
On the night her mother and two sisters were brutally murdered in an apparent Satanic ritual, Libby Day survived. And she testified against her brother, who was then sentenced to life in prison.
Twenty five years later, Libby is broke and alone. When a member of a group obsessed with gruesome murders contacts Libby for information that could free her brother, she agrees—for a fee. As she digs deeper into the events of THAT NIGHT, things get darker than she ever imagined.

An interesting read. Not my usual style, but it was entertaining and at the same time, very dark and creepy.
Wow. So disturbing.
Gillian Flynn's writing is compelling and captivating. But, of her three books I've read, this strikes me as the most difficult and upsetting. ...more

Wow. Better than Gone Girl in my opinion.
