Sharp Objects
reviewed on + 73 more book reviews


The first book I read by Gillian Flynn was "Gone Girl". I liked it but felt by the end she had given up on the story a bit. Not with this book! "Sharp Objects" holds your attention from beginning to end. The story is told from the point of veiw of Camille. She's a reporter in Chicago who is sent back to Wind Gap - the town she grew up in - to investigate the murders of 2 young girls. Camille did not have a storybook childhood due to a mother with serious issues. This book explores the murders as well as the messed up lives of Camille and her family.
I would definitely recommend this book.
