Sharp Objects: A Novel by Gillian Flynn


Flynn delivers a psychological thriller in her debut novel, Sharp Objects.

This dark and intense page turner will keep you guessing. You will find it impossible to put this book down until you read the very last page.

The narration gives you an insiders look at what small town life is like. The character development is stunning and the book itself is dark, depressing and cleverly writing.

If you haven't read Sharp Objects, set some time to do so now.


Grade: A

Synopsis [B&N]

A striking debut literary thriller by Entertainment Weekly's chief TV critic.

When a dark crime occurs in her hometown, she's forced back to Wind Gap, Missouri on assignment. Long haunted by a childhood tragedy, and estranged from her mother for years, Camille is forced to face her own demons as she tries to uncover the mystery of her assignment.
