If this month had a subtitle, it would be "September from a Suitcase." I downloaded Dark Places by Gillian Flynn just before boarding last weekend in the frenetic gate getaway. I was both hooked and creeped by the story, changing my guess along the way for our culprit. (I was wrong.) This title is a fairly quick read and the story moves along nicely, however the ending crescendoed a bit too much for me and I felt the closing was almost too tidy. (Was that just me?) Still, it was a novel that allowed me to completely block surroundings and disappear from numbers into words for a little while. I won't spoil the ending; she'll keep you guessing.
I'm saving Sharp Objects for a stretch of sunny days just to be on the safe side.
