Mystery Thriller

When I started reading Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn, I was surprised by how different it was compared to her other works. Flynn creates very dark and violent stories with very, very disturbed characters.

Dark Places by Gillian Flynn is the tragic and grim story of the Day Family, told in the voices of Libby Day (main character), Patty Day (her mother) and Ben Day (his brother).

From start to finish Deception Point takes the ball and runs with it like any other Dan Brown thriller. I like that the plot moves around in scenery from the Arctic to Washington, DC and a few points in-between keeping the action flowing and the characters moving around instead of being static in one place.

Dark Places by Gillian Flynn is an absorbing reading having hateful characters and lovely ones too. I really did like John, the out of town Detective Richard and most of all the lovely Camille who it seems was facing her own redemption by the end.
