A neighbor calls Nick, who is at the bar he owns and runs with his sister Go, and tells him to come home, that something seems amiss. On the day of their fifth wedding anniversary, beautiful Amy Elliott Dunne (the inspiration for her parents' wildly successful children's book series, Amazing Amy) disappears from the sterile Missouri house she shares with her husband, Nick. What is real? Who is telling the truth? Is this review a lie? Reader beware. And this is part of the genius of Gone Girl, where Flynn places her readers on a sea of constantly shifting sand. Any character or plot detail could be a spoiler. The plot is riddled with so many twists and turns that describing it, even in broad strokes, runs the risk of giving some of them away it would be a real disservice to deny any reader the joy of slowly peeling away the layers of deceits wrapped around its deliciously dark heart. To write about Gillian Flynn's excellent new novel is to face a unique challenge.
