Well, I really did like this one, but I found the ending extremely disappointing.
It was quite suspenseful and the characters were very well written in the sense that one minute I loved them and wanted them to win and the next minute I hated them and wanted them to pay. I didn't find the ending very plausible though, compared to the rest of it, and after really, really enjoying it all play out, the end left me feeling disappointed and deflated like ppffft. ...more

This book took me a bit to get into...mainly because I had heard that there were twists and turns...so even though I felt like the author wanted me to like one character--- and hate another....I was suspicious.
The story is of two people--- each tell their side of the story. The disappearance of a wife on the 5th year anniversary...the search for her (or her body) and her killer (or kidnapper)...The husband tells you what is happening as the disappearance unfolds--- and the wife tells the story ...more

This story is seriously fucked up. I finished it and felt an incredible urge to take a shower. I haven't read a suspense novel in a long time, so I can't compare it to others in the genre, but I can report that this was suspenseful up until the last word.
Before the book got tense, Flynn had some lovely prose scattered about, surprising me when it hit. I think that's mainly because I read the Kindle version and it reports when someone "highlighted" the text. I know when something amazing is going ...more

Very disturbing and it gets worse as you go. I guessed a lot of the plot twists before I got to them, though, and that is why I only gave it 4 stars.
This book sucked me in and kept me mentally involved the whole time. I can't even remember the last book I read that did the same. A little more language than I'd prefer but not too over the top. A definite recommend for anyone who likes a good mystery!

what an amazing story. Everyone is unlikable, except maybe Go, and the plot twistS just blow my mind. I did wish for a more "War of the Roses" ending.
