Dark Places by Gillian Flynn - Review

Synopsis:
Libby Day was seven when her mother and two sisters were murdered in “The Satan Sacrifice" of Kinnakee, Kansas.” She survived—and famously testified that her fifteen-year-old brother, Ben, was the killer. Twenty-five years later, the Kill Club—a secret secret society obsessed with notorious crimes—locates Libby and pumps her for details. They hope to discover proof that may free Ben. Libby hopes to turn a profit off her tragic history: She’ll reconnect with the players from that night and report her findings to the club—for a fee. As Libby’s search takes her from shabby Missouri strip clubs to abandoned Oklahoma tourist towns, the unimaginable truth emerges, and Libby finds herself right back where she started—on the run from a killer.

What can I say about Dark Places by Gillian Flynn? It was, well, dark. Very dark in fact. There are a few violent scenes that I must admit to just glossing over... like the part with the cow, and of course, the slaughter of the children. As a thriller goes, this one is certainly good in that it keeps you guessing until the end. But, oh, the end. The end made us all want to throw this book out the window.

Read it if you want to be depressed.
