'Eerily macabre... Wonderful' Guardian
'A nerve-fraying thriller' New York Times
'Every bit as horribly fascinating as In Cold Blood' Daily Mail

Libby Day was seven when her family was murdered: she survived by hiding in a closet - and famously testified that her older brother Ben was the killer.

Twenty-five years later the Kill Club - a secret society obsessed with notorious crimes - gets in touch with Libby to try to discover proof that may free Ben. Almost broke, Libby agrees to go back to her hometown to investigate - for a fee.

But when Libby's search uncovers an unimaginable truth, she finds herself right back where she started: on the run from a killer.

Dark Places

Yet again Gillian Flynns writing has left me astounded with brilliantly written complex characters. Like Gone Girl it is almost as if two people are writing the book.

This book took me six weeks to get into and then two days to read, I was completely hooked by every element of the story and the finale was very unexpected

A bit slow

I just found it a bit slow

Dark places

I have read some fantastic reviews about this book and although I found it hard to get into, I kept persisting. The middle was intense and mysterious, however I found the ending rushed and disappointing. I was left feeling an anti climax after the high hopes I had.
3 out of 5.
