Gone Girl: A Twisting, Unforgettable Thriller

#1 New York Times Bestseller | One of TIME’s 100 Best Mystery & Thriller Books of All Time

A darkly gripping psychological thriller, Gone Girl explores identity, deception, and the secrets that fester beneath even the most intimate relationships. Praised as “mercilessly entertaining” (Vanity Fair) and “one of the best books of the decade” (Lev Grossman, Time), this modern classic now includes never-before-published deleted scenes.

On the morning of their fifth wedding anniversary, Nick and Amy Dunne’s celebration takes a chilling turn when Amy mysteriously vanishes from their Missouri home. As the case unfolds, Nick’s odd behavior and unsettling thoughts—like his fixation on the shape of his wife’s head—cast doubt on his innocence. Meanwhile, entries from Amy’s diary paint a picture of a perfectionist wife pushed to the edge. Under relentless scrutiny from police, media, and Amy’s devoted parents, Nick’s lies and evasions mount. But is he simply a troubled husband, or is he hiding something far darker?

A masterpiece of suspense, Gone Girl keeps readers questioning everything until the final, shocking twist.
