Gillian Flynn's Books

I just read Dark Places and Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. I liked both books but Dark Places took the win for me. It gripped me from the beginning and held me until the end. I definitely didn't predict the ending. Dark Places was dark but the love of the mother shone through in the end. It's horrible to think that your best intentions, no matter how flawed, could go so wrong. I think both books showed how desperate people can do desperate things. With Gone Girl, I had a hard time getting into the book due to the unreliable narrator. I didn't know what to believe until about half way through when the book really took off. I don't know how Gillian Flynn did it but she had me rooting for the cheating husband by the end of the book.
