I really liked Gone Girl, it was one of those books I just flew through, enjoying all the twists and turns along the way. So when I came across Dark Places I was eager to read another Gillian Flynn novel. Unfortunately it didn't quite hit the mark for me. I found all the chopping and changing a bit annoying. Possibly I just wasn't in the right frame of mind for having to remember what happened in the chapter before last - life was particularly busy when I was reading it so my attention span probably wasn't what it could have been. Ultimately I finished it without the sense of satisfaction I had while turning the last page of Gone Girl. Don't you hate when you're all psyched up to love a book but it just doesn't deliver.
