I really enjoyed Gillian Flynn's Dark Places, though not quite as much as I did her Gone Girl.

somewhere between a 4 and 4.5. i didn't know the end until the end. i had suspicions, but the 'whodunnit' part kept me guessing and interested the entire book. i don't know if all moms can relate to patty, the mom, but in some ways, i could. it was interesting to see the development of libby as a character, as well. all in all, i really enjoyed reading this book and look forward to reading sharp objects soon, too :)
