I haven't been this excited about a book in a while. It was a mystery which relied on a great story and not a lot of violence. It would have made a great Alfred Hitchcock movie - so those of you who are old enough to remember Hitchcock movies will have some idea about the type of book it is. It begins on the fifth anniversary of Nick and Amy Dunne's marriage. The day might have started out normally but it changes to abnormal when he comes home and finds the house in disarray and no sign of her. They are living in Nick's childhood home in Missouri. They moved there after both of them lost jobs in N.Y. and Nick's mom was dying of cancer. Nick calls the police who begin an investigation. The story moves back and forth between what is happening on the investigation and excerpts from Amy's diary. When no trace of Amy is found, Nick becomes the top suspect. There are many twists and turns along the way and lots of interesting characters. I can't imagine you could be disappointed in this book!
