Gone Girl Summary

It is a warm summer morning at North Carthage, Missouri and it is the 5th wedding anniversary of Nick and Amy. Gifts are being wrapped and preparations are ongoing when Nick’s beautiful and clever wife disappeared from their rented mansion along the Mississippi River. Nick, who is supposed to be worried, is not doing anything. Rather, he is hallucinating about a slope and the head of his wife. The passages written from Amy’s diary show that she is a perfectionist and she could place anyone on a dangerous edge. Being pressured by the authorities, media, and Amy’s angry parents, Nick experiences endless deceits, lies, and a bad behavior. He is oddly evasive and is really bitter. However, it is still unknown if he is the killer.

As the police officers are closing in, the couples in the town are wondering if how well they know about the person they love. Nick found himself a person at his side – his twin sister Margo, who is standing with him in his innocence. However, if Nick did not do it, then where is his beautiful wife? Moreover, why is a silvery gift box found at the back of Amy’s bedroom closet?

Gillian Flynn is known for her psychological insight trademark and a razor-sharp writing. Her delivery of ingeniously plotted, devilishly dark, and fast-paced thriller shows that she is one of the best writers today.
