Fresh from a brief stay at a psych hospital, reporter Camille Preaker faces a troubling assignment: she must return to her tiny hometown to cover the murders of two preteen girls. For years, Camille has hardly spoken to her neurotic, hypochondriac mother or to the half-sister she barely knows: a beautiful thirteen-year-old with an eerie grip on the town.
Now, installed in her old bedroom in her family's Victorian mansion, Camille finds herself identifying with the young victims—a bit too strongly. Dogged by her own demons, she must unravel the psychological puzzle of her own past if she wants to get the story—and survive this homecoming.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Sharp Objects is disturbing, unnerving, and impossible to put down. From the very first paragraph, Gillian Flynn’s expertly paced story of small-town murder and long-buried family secrets burrowed under our skin. Flynn repeatedly turns our expectations upside down and draws us into a world where no one turns out to be who they seem. Her complicated narrator, Camille—a damaged, suspicious, and cynical newspaper reporter—proves that Flynn nailed the unpredictable, unconventional heroine long before Gone Girl made her a star.
