On a warm summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and Amy Dunneâs fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reservations are being made when Nickâs clever and beautiful wife disappears. Husband-of-the-Year Nick isnât doing himself any favors with cringe-worthy daydreams about the slope and shape of his wifeâs head, but passages from Amy's diary reveal the alpha-girl perfectionist could have put anyone dangerously on edge. Under mounting pressure from the police and the mediaâas well as Amyâs fiercely doting parentsâthe town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and heâs definitely bitterâbut is he really a killer?

âAbsorbing . . . In masterly fashion, Flynn depicts the unraveling of a marriageâand of a recession-hit Midwestâby interweaving the wifeâs diary entries with the husbandâs first-person account.ââNew Yorker
âMs. Flynn writes dark suspense novels that anatomize violence without splashing barrels of blood around the pages . . . Ms. Flynn has much more up her sleeve than a simple missing-person case. As Nick and Amy alternately tell their stories, marriage has never looked so menacing, narrators so unreliable.ââThe Wall Street Journal
âThe story unfolds in precise and riveting prose . . . even while you know youâre being manipulated, searching for the missing pieces is half the thrill of this wickedly absorbing tale.ââO: The Oprah Magazine
