I read this because I loved "Gone Girl" so much. Although I love Flynn's writing style and in general her characters, I didn't love this book. The "evil ones" were way over the top and I didn't believe the words that came out of their mouths. As soon as just one main character is unbelievable, the book loses credence. And I can't believe I'm saying this (because usually "dark" books don't bother me), but this one seems a little too dark and twisted for me. I didn't want to spend time with the sickos.

Yup. Cartoonish. I was waiting for a mustachioed villain to tie somebody’s sweetheart to the train tracks.
