Dark Places by Gillian Flynn
Rating: Good
I first heard of this book a couple of years ago after I read another Gillian Flynn book Gone Girl.  I put off reading Dark Places, but not for the lack of interest, but for a lack of time.  I am glad that I came back to it and glad that I waited to read it.  Gillian Flynn's novels leave you feeling kind of spooked. The book begins with  Libby, a depressed young women who has lost all of her money, that she received from donations, after her family was killed in what was thought to be a satanic mass murder committed by her brother. The murders happen in 1985 and the book flashes back between 1985 and present day.  Libby was only 7 when the murders were committed, and she testified against her brother.  Her brother is found guilty, and is serving time for the crime.  Libby out of money, is asked to speak with a group called the Kill Club.  The Kill Club theorizes over different murders and come up with conspiracy theories of who actually killed the victims.  Only going for the money she starts to realize that things may not have been as they appeared to a seven year old, and she may have put her only living family member in jail for a crime he didn't commit. Scary, suspenseful and sometime gory.  Dark Places will keep you up all night "reading".
