Sharp Objects by Gillian FlynnMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Another dark and disturbing psychological thriller from the writer of "Gone Girl". "Sharp Objects" (2006) was Gillian Flynn's debut novel and while never as popular as the 2012 bestseller, it may get its due with this year's HBO mini-series of the same name. Crime reporter Camille Preaker returns to her hometown Wind Gap in Missouri to solve the murder of two young girls. But she has her own demons to overcome. I thought the ending of "Sharp Objects" felt a bit rushed, but this is otherwise a gripping and well plotted book. Now to watch the TV adaptation to see if there's indeed a surprise twist at the end.
