Another dark and twisted book from Gillian Flynn. Unlike Dark Places and Gone Girl this has a traditional mystery format (no switching between viewpoints or time periods). Camille, a big city reporter returns to her hometown where two young girls have been murdered and is forced to face her own demons from the past. Flynn writes fucked up exceptionally well. Sharp Objects is creepy and suffocating in a sharp and unflinching way, and though (IMO) not as good as Dark Places, it is a compelling and horrifying read.
