Gillian Flynn should legally change her name to Gillian "The Twists in All of My Books Will Destroy You" Flynn at this point, because each of her novels is a masterclass in dark, razor-sharp storytelling. In Sharp Objects, reporter Camille Preaker has only just finished her brief stay at a psych hospital when she's tasked with returning to her small hometown to write about the murders of two preteen girls. Because nothing in life is simple, Camille realizes that the deaths might be connected to her estranged, neurotic mother and her gorgeous, popular, 13-year-old half-sister that she barely knows, leading her down a traumatic path of shocking discoveries that she might never recover from.
