Seller Description
Fresh from a brief stay at a psych hospital, reporter Camille Preaker faces a troubling assignment: she must return to her tiny hometown to cover the unsolved murder of a preteen girl and the disappearance of another. For years, Camille has hardly spoken to her neurotic, hypochondriac mother or to the half-sister she barely knows: a beautiful thirteen-year-old with an eerie grip on the town. Now, installed in her old bedroom in her family's Victorian mansion, Camille finds herself identifying with the young victims—a bit too strongly. Dogged by her own demons, she must unravel the psychological puzzle of her own past if she wants to get the story—and survive this homecoming.

What readers are saying about this book
Summarized by Pango AI
PangoBooks readers have mixed feelings about this book. Some praise Gillian Flynn’s unique and atmospheric writing, noting its dark, eerie, and disturbingly engaging nature, while others found the plot predictable and the pacing slow. The characters, especially Camille, are seen as deeply flawed and psychologically complex, drawing both criticism and fascination. Many appreciated the commentary on trauma, mental illness, and the female experience within a small town setting, though some were disappointed by the heavy emphasis on unsettling content over actual mystery-solving. Despite the varying opinions, the book's twists and dark themes kept readers intrigued till the end.
