My 56 

“Fact: Somewhere around 2 a.m. on January 3, 1985, a person or persons killed three members of the Day family in their farmhouse in Kinnakee, Kansas.

~~~

Synopsis

Libby Day was just seven years old when her evidence put her fifteen-year-old brother behind bars.

Since then, she has been drifting. But when she is contacted by a group who are convinced of Ben’s innocence, Libby starts to ask questions she never dared to before. Was the voice she heard her brother’s? Ben was a misfit in their small town, but was he capable of murder? Are there secrets to uncover at the family farm or is Libby deluding herself because she wants her brother back?

She begins to realise that everyone in her family had something to hide that day… especially Ben. Now, twenty-four years later, the truth is going to be even harder to find.

Who did massacre the Day family?

This book is so intense and so freakin good!

    I found Libby to be an unlikable character. This wasn’t one of my favs by Gillian Flynn, but I’m glad you liked it. Here’s my Friday post

    • fuonlyknew says:

      I think that’s why I’m enjoying this one so much. Every now and then I find a character that I don’t like, but they are powerful for that very reason. I’m a bit twisted. LOL

  3. Gillian Flynn is one of my must read authors – I hope you like Dark Places!

    Check out my Friday 56 (With Book Beginnings).

    • fuonlyknew says:

      Dang, the books are so twisted. As soon as I finish this I’ll be reviewing all three of her books.

  4. Kathy Martin says:

    This sounds very good. I hope you are enjoying it. This week I am spotlighting Prudence by Gail Carriger. Happy reading!

  5. Not read this author, but the synopsis sounds pretty good. 🙂

      Just like with Gone Girl, I don’t like the Libby, the female protagonist, but I’m still liking the plot. Don’t have to love the characters to enjoy the read:)

  6. alisbooks says:

    I read Gone Girl, but I wasn’t crazy about the ending. Glad you’re enjoying this one!

    • fuonlyknew says:

      That was too twisted, that ending. I know what you mean. This has another female character that’s not very likeable. But I’m still liking the plot.

  7. Freda Mans says:

    Quite an in-your-face fact! Sounds good!
    Happy weekend!

  8. Gillian Flynn! Dang I am sooo behind. I haven’t even read Gone Girl 😉

    • fuonlyknew says:

      I’d read Gone Girl before I watched the movie. Wish I’d done it that way. These are all similar in some unlikable characters yet suspenseful plots. Very good.

  9. yvonne473 says:

    I haven’t read this author yet, but this book sounds like my kind of read.

    • fuonlyknew says:

      If you like to feel a wide range of emotions and can handle some ugly characters and twisted plots, this is for you. LOL

  10. I enjoyed this one! Also Dark Places…

  11. I mean Sharp Objects…LOL

  12. Breana M. says:

    I’ve heard a lot about Gillian Flynn’s novels.

  13. oh my goodness! sounds really good. i love mysteries. thanks for sharing Laura and for stopping by my blog as well.

    this book goes to my #wishlist. 🙂

  14. I enjoyed Gone Girl, this one sounds just as interesting. Happy reading!

  15. Vicki says:

    Great 56! I’ve never read a Flynn book. This sounds like a good place to start!

  16. I’ve read glowing reviews on this series, I’m just not sure if it is one I would particularly enjoy :/ I do hope you’re enjoying it though Laura; have a fantastic weekend!

    • fuonlyknew says:

      These are stand alones so you don’t have to read them like a series. Very suspenseful and twisted:)

  17. Awesome pick I love Gillian Flynn dark and twisted books I absolutely loved Gone Girl and I know I will enjoy her other books as well. Thank you for stopping by my blog! 🙂

  18. I’m a little late getting back to everyone this week but this book sure does sound good. I hope you enjoyed it.
