Libby Day was seven when her family was murdered: she survived by hiding in a closet - and famously testified that her older brother Ben was the killer.
Twenty-five years later the Kill Club - a secret society obsessed with notorious crimes - gets in touch with Libby to try to discover proof that may free Ben. Almost broke, Libby agrees to go back to her hometown to investigate - for a fee.
But when Libby's search uncovers an unimaginable truth, she finds herself right back where she started: on the run from a killer.

About Gillian Flynn
Reviews for Dark Places
Stephen King Gillian Flynn's writing is compulsively good. I would rather read her than just about any other crime writer
Kate Atkinson With her blistering debut Sharp Objects, Gillian Flynn hit the ground running. Dark Places demonstrates that was no fluke
Val McDermid Dark Places grips you from the first page and doesn't let go
Karin Slaughter Flynn's second novel is a wonderful evocation of drab small-town life. The time-split narrative works superbly and the atmosphere is eerily macabre-Dark Places is even better than the author's award-winning Sharp Objects.
Guardian
This is only Flynn's second crime novel . . . and demonstrates even more forcibly her precocious writing ability and talent for the macabre
Daily Mail
Dark Places, Flynn's second novel, confirms her exceptional talent
Times Literary Supplement
Gutsy, atmospheric and suspense-loaded
Woman & Home
Flynn's well-paced story deftly shows the fallibility of memory and the lies a child tells herself to get through a trauma.
New Yorker
Gutsy thriller of one woman pitted against her murderous brother.
WOMAN & HOME
In a brilliantly interwoven plot, Gillian Flynn keeps the reader balanced on a knife-edge
TANGLED WEB
Gillian Flynn is a great writer, equally able to ratchet up the suspense as creaet memorable characters and pervasive moods. This is a great and original piece of rural noir.
