Publisher's Summary

What are you thinking, Amy? The question I've asked most often during our marriage, if not out loud, if not to the person who could answer. I suppose these questions storm cloud over every marriage: What are you thinking? How are you feeling? Who are you? What have we done to each other? What will we do? Just how well can you ever know the person you love?

These are the questions that Nick Dunne must ask himself on the morning of his fifth wedding anniversary, when his wife Amy suddenly disappears. The police immediately suspect Nick. Amy's friends reveal that she was afraid of him, that she kept secrets from him. He swears it isn't true. A police examination of his computer shows strange searches. He says they aren't his. And then there are the persistent calls on his mobile phone.

So what really did happen to Nick's beautiful wife? And what was in that half-wrapped box left so casually on their marital bed? In this novel, marriage truly is the art of war.

Well worth the read

I had begun to listen to this and was a quarter of the way through when I watched the movie. The movie was awesome and I thought I would stop listening....but I couldn't and I am so glad I didn't stop. The book gives a fuller picture, a more frightening side of Amy's personality. The main characters are truly awful but the psychotic workings of Amy's mind is scary and what is worse, feasible.

The narrators truly capture the tone of the book and added much to the telling of the story.

Slow but good in the end

The male voice artist was so boring! The beginning of this story takes so so long and I almost put it down out of sheer boredom. Luckily I didn't as it picked up and became exciting in the second part. It was however quite predictable but enjoyed it in the end.

Brilliant

The first half is a little slow but part two onwards is gripping, you won't want to put it down.

Believable characters and storyline

This is one of those stories that combines characters that we can relate to, with scenarios that many would consider familiar. Men are from Mars syndrome is thoroughly enjoyable and the dual perspective narrative is clever and draws you in, keeping you guessing from start to a twisty finish.
Hats off to Julia and Kirby who really nail the narration. Five stars all round!!
