 Sharp Objects is one dark and disturbing tale. I would even venture so far as to claim that this story is even more twisty and dangerous than Gone Girl. It may even be Flynn's best work. 
 Camille Parker is a very damaged individual. Part of this is because she was raised in a suffocating small town environment, part of this is because her sister died at a young age and probably the largest reason is because of her equally damaged mother. She's managed to escape her small town a long time ago, running away to Chicago to be a reporter. But when two young girls are gruesomely murdered she is sent back on assignment to break the story and confront her demons. Overall Camille is an interesting character and it was fascinating to see her life slowly unravel in front of you. Although at times she was a bit much - her inner monologues could get a tad too melodramatic and there was definitely some eye rolling from my end. 
 The final twist is a bit of a doozy. It's one I've seen before but wasn't what I was expecting until almost the end of the audiobook. I found the twists in Gone Girl to be fairly predictable and unexciting, but Sharp Objects kept me hooked and eager to find out more. 
 This book was narrated by Ann Marie Lee and she does an excellent job of capturing Camille's personality - vulnerable and damaged but also haughty and stuck up. I know that sounds like a weird combination, but Lee totally pulls it off, leaving you with a perfect image of the character in your mind. If you've enjoyed Flynn's other work I recommend this one as well, and if you didn't enjoy Gone Girl, you might find Sharp Objects more to your liking.
