Libby is the sole survivor when her brother brutally murders her entire family one night. Years later, Libby digs into the past to figure out what really happened that horrible night. Did her brother really slaughter her family? Or is there more to what happened that night than what meets the eye.
I am a big fan of Gillian Flynn's work. Having said that, this book was probably my least favorite of hers that I have read. Although I still enjoyed it. I kept waiting for a big twist at the end and i didn't really feel like I got one. With Gone Girl I felt like the twist was shocking. With Sharp Objects I felt like I finished that book thinking the characters were really screwed up people. I liked the psychological aspect of it. When I finished Dark Places, I kind of put it down and thought ....huh really? I guess the idea that all these things happened that lead up to the events was interesting. The idea that if one thing had been different, the outcome might have been different. That was the part of this book that intrigued me, but also felt a little unbelievable.
I do recommend this book. If you are a fan of Gillian Flynn or like books about mysteries and crimes, then you should definitely pick up this book.
