Gillian Flynn

Tips and Resources From Your Gillian Flynn Book Club Friends:

With her three novels Sharp Objects, Dark Places and Gone Girl, Gillian Flynn has made an indelible mark on crime fiction. Her suspenseful stories delve into the darker aspects of human nature and often have female characters that are considered manipulative and deceitful. Flynn explained her decision to write wicked female characters by saying, “I’ve grown quite weary of the spunky heroines, brave rape victims, soul-searching fashionistas that stock so many books. I particularly mourn the lack of female villains – good, potent female villains.” Her astute observations of human behaviour and explorations of the darker corners of the human psyche will have you looking over your shoulder and looking in the mirror.
