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. 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 perfectionist 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?

Reviews
Great Read… In the Beginning
3By lynnnleexThe book kicked off really well! It had me hooked and eager to keep reading! However, the turning point for me was during the Night of the Return all the way to the end. Honestly, I was really disappointed with how it wrapped up, which is why I gave it three stars!Great Book
5By Teacher MopsThis book pulls you in and keeps you there.Absolute favorite book ever
5By IneverratebutthisisterribleI cannot say enough about this book! It is probably my favorite book ever!Wish I had read more reviews.
2By Dixie Girl18Well written. Hated all of the characters.Too much detail….
3By jahonnieTedious.Worth the read!
5By Me 🐬🐳🐠🐙So so good! Amazing twist! I loved it. Couldn’t put it down!Best Book I’ve Read
5By Erika541I’ll admit, I had seen the movie way before reading this book and I am blown away by both the film AND this book. More detailed, even more intense, and so many differences that didn’t make it into the film that I thoroughly enjoyed. I would say this is probably the best book I have read recently — I couldn’t put it down and I’m sad it’s ended. Looking forward to reading more from this author. 10/10 rating.Not for Everyone
2By K4s13Not ever read a book like this. I hope I never do again. It is very very dark.It doesn’t get any better than this!
5By JaynewaytIt doesn’t! Second time through and I’ll read it again I’m sure in another couple of years!Pretty Good
4By Phunkee duckVery manipulative story. I think it was hyped up too much. Going to watch the movie now!Now time to watch the movie
5By AestheticOdiumThis book was a wild ride. Twist after twist. Not going to lie, after the first twist with the husband I was so mad that I stopped reading for a week. It was just that good. 10/10👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
5By amandax345A very thrilling book and it has you on the edge of your seat!Disappointing end
3By novel momFast paced, couldn’t put it down and then about 3/4 of the way through it slowed down a lot. I almost skipped to the end and then it just stopped. I was very disappointed in how it ended. It wasn’t a good ending that left you thinking, it was the kind that made you wonder why you read it in the first place.Awesome Writing
5By hazza is baeIt’s funny that most of the bad reviews are expressing the feelings the author wanted you to feel and I love that. Both main characters are not good people, and that really screws with you throughout the book.Intense
5By mynicknameisdannyThis author is amazing.Don’t waste your time
1By dnortzI have enjoyed other books by this author, but this one was awful. The story began normal and interesting, then morphed into something ridiculous and unbelievable, with the main characters being people who couldn’t exist. Unless, I guess, if people don’t have anything even resembling a normal relationship. For the rest of their lives.Easy read
5By LibVEAnother great book!Gone girl
