Summary
On a warm summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it is
Nick and Amy Dunne’s fifth wedding anniversary. Presents
are being wrapped and reservations are being made when
Nick’s clever and beautiful wife disappears from their
rented McMansion on the Mississippi River. Husband-of-the-Year
Nick isn’t doing himself any favors with cringe-worthy
daydreams about the slope and shape of his wife’s head,
but passages from Amy's diary reveal the alpha-girl
perfectionist could have put anyone dangerously on edge**.**
Under mounting pressure from the police and the media—as
well as Amy’s fiercely doting parents—the town
golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and
inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and he’s
definitely bitter—but is he really a killer? As the cops
close in, every couple in town is soon wondering how well they
know the one that they love. With his twin sister, Margo, at
his side, Nick stands by his innocence. Trouble is, if Nick
didn’t do it, where is that beautiful wife? And what was
in that silvery gift box hidden in the back of her bedroom
closet?
