Before Gone Girl, there was this little novel, a grim
book about a journalist named Camille Preaker who returns home on assignment to
cover a series of murders. It turns out
her past will collide with the present and, while super coincidental as these
kind of thrillers are, it’s also a dramatic read. It’s Camille’s character flaws and her
intriguing point of view that makes this book shine. Unlike the last thriller I read (the Quiet
Game) about a main character’s home coming crossing paths with a murder, this
one is much more bleak. That’s what I
liked about it though. It’s a good debut
novel and demonstrates an emerging talent in the genre. Grade: B+
