This is the second Gillian Flynn book that made me gasp out loud, in this case it was where the teeth were found.

A terrific study of the secret ugliness, terror and fear we accumulate and reap in cycles. Having read two of her other books, was expecting the clever twist that was subtlety built up throughout the book. This is a good read.
