Camille is a newspaper reporter who is sent on assignment back to her hometown in Wind Gap, Missouri. Two young girls have been murdered and it seems the small town of Wind Gap may have a serial killer on it's hands. As Camille digs deeper to try and uncover the truth about what's really going on in Wind Gap, she is forced to deal with the demons of her past.

This was a very good book. This is the second novel I have read from Flynn. The thing I love about Flynn's books is that the storylines are so disturbing. I love the psychological aspect of her characters. It keeps me thinking about the novels long after I've finished them. Like Gone Girl, there were some parts that were hard for me to read, but as a psychology major I found the material of the book very engrossing.

I would recommend this book to those readers who liked Gone Girl or for those who like books that are a little disturbing. As I was reading, it kind of reminded me of Full Dark, No Moon by Stephen King. Another disturbing and shocking book, but also very good.
