Marriage can be a real killer. One of the most critically acclaimed suspense writers of our time, "New York Times" bestseller Gillian Flynn takes that statement to its darkest place in this unputdownable masterpiece about a marriage gone terribly, terribly wrong. The "Chicago Tribune "proclaimed that her work "draws you in and keeps you reading with the force of a pure but nasty addiction." "Gone Girl"'s toxic mix of sharp-edged wit and deliciously chilling prose creates a nerve-fraying thriller that confounds you at every turn. On a warm summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and Amy Dunne's fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reservations are being made when Nick's clever and beautiful wife disappears from their rented McMansion on the Mississippi River. Husband-of-the-Year Nick isn't doing himself any favors with cringe-worthy daydreams about the slope and shape of his wife's head, but passages from Amy's diary reveal the alpha-girl perfectionist could have put anyone dangerously on edge. Under mounting pressure from the police and the media--as well as Amy's fiercely doting parents--the town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and he's definitely bitter--but is he really a killer? As the cops close in, every couple in town is soon wondering how well they know the one that they love. With his twin sister, Margo, at his side, Nick stands by his innocence. Trouble is, if Nick didn't do it, where is that beautiful wife? And what was in that silvery gift box hidden in the back of her bedroom closet? With her razor-sharp writing and trademark psychological insight, Gillian Flynn delivers a fast-paced, devilishly dark, and ingeniously plotted thriller that confirms her status as one of the hottest writers around.

Rezension von Sabrina LenzEnhält kleine Spoiler Manchmal ist man gefesselt von einer Geschichte, ohne sie wirklich zu mögen. Gone Girl hat mich von Anfang an gepackt und neugierig gemacht. Trotzdem bin ich nach dem Lesen etwas zwiegespalten zurückgeblieben. Mein größtes Problem waren definitiv die Charaktere. Nick war mir aufgrund seines Verhaltens und insbesondere seiner Untreue ziemlich unsympathisch. Bei Amy hingegen konnte ich viele ihrer Entscheidungen einfach nicht nachvollziehen. Warum hält man an einer Beziehung fest, in der offensichtlich keiner mehr glücklich ist, nur um den anderen weiter zu quälen und zu kontrollieren? Auch das Ende hat mich eher verstört als begeistert. Die Tatsache, dass Amy eine Schwangerschaft nutzt, um Nick an sich zu binden, hat bei mir einen ziemlich bitteren Nachgeschmack hinterlassen. Positiv hervorheben möchte ich allerdings den Schreibstil und den Wechsel zwischen den Perspektiven von Nick und Amy. Beides hat mir gut gefallen und meinen Lesefluss überhaupt nicht beeinträchtigt. Vielleicht waren meine Erwartungen auch einfach zu hoch. Denn obwohl mich die Geschichte unterhalten und von Anfang an gefesselt hat, konnte sie mich letztendlich nicht so überzeugen, wie ich es erwartet hatte. Mein Fazit: Ein Buch, das man durchaus lesen kann, aber meiner Meinung nach nicht unbedingt gelesen haben muss. Es hat mich beschäftigt, aber nicht wirklich begeistert
Rezension von NayeliExcellent book, I love that feeling of not being able to put a book down and Gillian got it. it leaves an open ending which I’m not super happy but except for that very last page I loved it all the way #TotallyTeamNick
Rezension von Raphaela Spannender Thriller mit ungewöhnlicher Erzählperspektive. Ich hatte allerdings beim Lesen den Nachteil, dass ich den Film bereits gesehen habe und sich die Verfilmung wirklich sehr eng an die Romanvorlage hält. So gab es leider kaum etwas Neues zu entdecken.
Rezension von Isabel Extrem spannend! Die Sympathien wechseln hin und her, es gibt einen unfassbare Twist. Großartige Auflösung.
Rezension von Lilith3 3/4 Sterne Erst habe ich Nick gehasst, dann Amy und am Ende beide. Letzten 100 Seiten haben sich doch ziemlich gezogen, sonst wars sehr spannend. Und dass, obwohl ich den Film schon kannte und es dann normalerweise nicht mag, im Nachgang noch das Buch zu lesen.
