PRAISE FOR (3 O N E GIRL
"Gone Girl is one of the best and most frightening portraits of psychopathy I've ever read.
Nick and Amy manipulate each other with savage, merciless, and often darkly witty dex-
terity. This is a wonderful and terrifying book about how the happy surface normality
and the underlying darkness can become too closely interwoven to separate."
-TANA FRENCH
"The plot has it all. I have no doubt that in a year's time I'm going to be saying that this is
my favorite novel of 2012. Brilliant." -KATE ATKINSO N
"I cannot say this urgently enough: you have to read Gone Girl. It's as if Gillian Flynn
has mixed us a martini using battery acid instead of vermouth and somehow managed
to make it taste really, really good. Gone Girl is delicious and intoxicating and delight-

discover—among many other treasures—just how much freight (and fright) that last
adjective can bear."
"Gone Girl builds on the extraordinary achievements of Gillian Flynn's first two books
and delivers the reader into the claustrophobic world of a failing marriage. A devastat-
ing portrait of a marriage and a timely, cautionary tale about an age in which everyone's
dreams seem to be imploding." —LAURA LI P P M A N

"Just this minute I finished a week of feeling betrayed, misled, manipulated, provoked,
and misjudged, not to mention having all my expectations confounded. Considering how
compulsively I kept coming back for more, I am seriously thinking of going back to page
one and doing it all again." —ARTHUR PHILLIPS
"Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl is like Scenes from a Marriage remade by Alfred Hitchcock,
an elaborate trap that's always surprising and full of characters who are entirely recog-
nizable. It's a love story wrapped in a mystery that asks the eternal question of all good
relationships gone bad: How did we get from there to here?" 1 R O 5 3
"Gone Girl manages to be so many stellar things all at once—suspenseful, inventive, chill-
ing, funny, unsettling—as well as beautifully plotted and fiercely well written. Gillian
Flynn is a thrilling writer." - K AT E CHR1STE N S E N
"Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl reminds me of Patricia Highsmith at the top of her game. With
Gone Girl, she's placed herself at the top of the short list of authors who have mastered the
art of crafting a tense story with terrifyingly believable characters."
-KARIN SLAUGHTER
MARRIAGE CAN BE A REAL KILLER.
One of the most critically acclaimed suspense
writers of our time, New York Times bestseller
Gillian Flynn takes that statement to its darkest
place in this unputdownable masterpiece
about a marriage gone terribly, terribly wrong.
The Chicago Tribune proclaimed that her work
"draws you in and keeps you reading with the
force of a pure but nasty addiction." Gone Girl's
toxic mix of sharp-edged wit and deliciously
chilling prose creates a nerve-fraying thriller
that confounds you at every turn.
On a warm summer morning in North
Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and Amy Dunne's
fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being
wrapped and reservations are being made when
Nick's clever and beautiful wife disappears from
their rented McMansion on the Mississippi River.
Husband-of-the-Year Nick isn't doing himself any
favors with cringe-worthy daydreams about the
slope and shape of his wife's head, but passages
from Amy's diary reveal the alpha-girl perfec-
tionist could have put anyone dangerously on
edge. Under mounting pressure from the police
and the media—as well as Amy's fiercely doting
parents—the town golden boy parades an endless
series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior.
Nick is oddly evasive, and he's definitely bitter—
but is he really a killer?
As the cops close in, every couple in town is
soon wondering how well they know the one that
they love. With his twin sister, Margo, at his side,
Nick stands by his innocence. Trouble is, if Nick
didn't do it, where is that beautiful wife? And
what was in that silvery gift box hidden in the
back of her bedroom closet?
With her razor-sharp writing and trademark
psychological insight, Gillian Flynn delivers
a fast-paced, devilishly dark, and ingeniously
plotted thriller that confirms her status as one of
the hottest writers around. Vissza
