Sharp Objects

The novel, Sharp Objects, tells the story of Camille Preaker, a girl living in Chicago who became a journalist originally from Missouri. She is a self–harmer from a family with a troubled mother, a dead sister and a living stepsister who she absolutely despises. She is forced by her boss to unwillingly return to her hometown, Wind Gap, to cover up the brutal murder of a local girl. What starts off as an isolated incident escalates into a series of murders, all occurring during Camille’s trip back home. As she joins the hunt for the killer and the case begins to unravel, Camille begins to discover the source of the evil may be a lot closer to home sweet home than she realizes.

This book was one that kept me on my toes, and not wanting to put it down. The author of the book, Gillian Flynn, is famous for writing amazing suspense stories. After reading her book, Gone Girl, I didn’t think she’d be able to compete with it, but this book was just as interesting, if not better. I am one for romance novels, but I recommend this book to anyone!
