I'm reading Dark Places by Gillian Flynn. Someone on the forum said it was better than Gone Girl, which I quite enjoyed. I'm not sure about that, though I'll withhold judgement until I've finished (about half way through).
What does keep me from strongly liking her books is that Flynn is a master at writing unlikeable characters, including the main protagonists. I find the main character in Dark Places very unsympathetic, and at times I wonder why I'm bothering to keep going with the story. The hope of final redemption, maybe?
