After a brief hiatus from reading, I've just finished
Dark Places by Gillian Flynn. I have to admit, it took me a while to get into the book but, once again, Flynn weaves together a compelling story as Libby Day unravels the truth about what happened on a cold January night twenty-five years ago when her family was murdered. For all these years, her brother Ben has been in jail, convicted as their murderer, but not everyone is convinced of this, and slowly but surely, Libby begins to question it as well.
Overall, the story is gripping and disturbing. More so than Gone Girl in my opinion. And in true Flynn fashion, the ending leaves you not entirely satisfied - frustrated and wanting to know more. All of this being said, I would definitely recommend Dark Places if you're looking for a creepy read, appropriate
for the time of year, and if you have a strong stomach.
