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?

Dark Places does not have a good ending as Gone Girl, but I did enjoy Dark Places more. I had to ditch Gone Girl. The main character was too despicable for words.
