Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn (Published 2006)
"Sometimes if you let people do things to you, you're really doing it to them."
Gillian Flynn's debut novel is a dark and twisted psychological thriller that follows journalist Camille Preaker as she returns to her hometown of Wind Gap, Missouri, to cover a series of brutal murders. Reluctantly sent by her Chicago newspaper to investigate the killings of two young girls, Camille must confront her own troubled past and dysfunctional family.
As she delves deeper into the investigation, Camille uncovers disturbing secrets about her hometown and its residents, while battling her own demons including a history of self-harm and a complicated relationship with her manipulative mother, Adora. The closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous her situation becomes.
Flynn masterfully weaves together themes of family dysfunction, small-town secrets, and psychological trauma in this gripping debut that established her as a major voice in contemporary thriller fiction. The novel was later adapted into an acclaimed HBO miniseries starring Amy Adams.
