Don't expect another Gone Girl. It's a mystery filled with abuse, but not quite a thriller like GG. A female reporter who lives in the big city and was a cutter for reasons you will discover when you watch/read is sent to her hometown by her editor to get a story and maybe heal the wounds between her and her mother. This small town is filled with a lot of crazy shit - it's a hog killing town which is disturbing enough. The stuff the main character has done is chilling and disturbing - she a high functioning alcoholic too. She is a complex character. I guessed the mom's secret and the half-sisters secret with the first 60 pages or so. Once I started I had to finish. It is disturbing and if violence against kids bothers you stay away!!!! All in all, I say: SKIP IT unless you want to watch the series on HBO and like to read stuff first.
