Dark Places
By: Gillian Flynn
Background:
Gillian Flynn is a new author who wrote my favorite book of all time: Sharp Objects. It is so creepy and demented. My friend at work has her second book, Dark Places, and gave it to me to read. After loving her first book so much, I knew I had to read this one as well.
First Thoughts:
Dark Places is a story of a young woman whose family was killed when she was a child. Her brother was convicted of the murders of their mother and two sisters but maintains his innocence. Some crime junkies convince Libby that they need to look deeper into the murders when the evidence does not point to the brother. The book's layout is different in that it is told from several different view points
1. Libby Day (the living sister) in present day
2. Ben Day (convicted murderer) in the days leading up to the murders
3. Mommy Day (forgot her name, obvi the murdered mother) in the days leading up to the murders
So interesting!
Final Thoughts:
This book did not disappoint. It was just as dark (pun intended) as the first with a great twist in the end. I still love Sharp Objects the most, but this is a great follow up!
