I liked this one better than Dark Places but not as much as Gone Girl. The thing about Flynn's books is that they're very dark, and most of the characters are unlikable. Finding a friendly character in the bunch is a rare event. But this makes reading her books a visceral experience, one that's not always comfortable. Out of her three books, I like this protagonist the best. Camille is a lost soul swimming in a sea of pain. It's tough not to ache for her.
