Hi Readers,
Today I have another book review for you, and this is definitely one of the best books I read last year! Dark Places, by Gillian Flynn (the author of Gone Girl) is an absolute must-read for lovers of crime/thriller/mystery books.
The story follows Libby Day, whose family was murdered except for her and her older brother Ben. Ben gets the blame for the murder due to Libby's testament in court. Libby is suddenly thrown into a world of 'fans' of real-life murder mysteries when she realises she needs to do something for money, but is too depressed to work. She ends up at meetings and events with these 'fans' and gives them a little bit of the Day family each time for a price. However, while doing this she ends up caught up in the mystery of who really did commit the murder of her family.
The characters in this book are so excellently written, to the same standard that they were in Gone Girl. Libby is a depressed, unlikable character who comes out of her shell throughout the book, while Ben is someone you can't help feel sorry for.
The plot is so incredible, and will have you guessing non-stop who did it, as well as have your jaw hitting the floor with unbelievable twists and turns.
I'd highly recommend this book for anyone who loves a good whodunnit full of twists and unpredictability, as well as a gripping story that you can't put down. The only bad thing I'd have to say about this book was that it was a little slow-going at first, I can remember feeling like it took a bit of getting into, but persevere through the first chapter and I promise you'll be hooked!
Thanks for reading, as always you can find me on;
