About the book

THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING FIRST NOVEL FROM THE AUTHOR OF GONE GIRL “Riveting.”— PEOPLE “A terrific debut . . . elevated by sharp writing and sharper insights.”—STEPHEN KING “Keeps you reading with the force of a pure but nasty addiction.”— CHICAGO TRIBUNE Fresh from a brief stay at a psych hospital, reporter Camille Preaker faces a troubling assignment: she must return to her tiny hometown to cover the murders of two preteen girls. For years, Camille has hardly spoken to her neurotic, hypochondriac mother or to the half-sister she barely knows: a beautiful thirteen-year-old with an eerie grip on the town. Now, installed in her old bedroom in her family's Victorian mansion, Camille finds herself identifying with the young victims—a bit too strongly.
