Nei Luoghi Oscuri (Piemme Linea Rossa) (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
A friend recommended this because I liked "Gone Girl." Once again, the author has taken characters who seem unlikable and yet has created a compelling enough story that you want to find out what happens. This one is more of a mystery than "Gone Girl" -- in "Dark Places," a horrific crime occurred many years ago. Initially, what happened seems fairly straightforward, but as the main character starts remembering in more detail and talking to other people, what happened gets more complicated.This reminds me, in some ways, of a more modern version of Truman Capote's "In Cold Blood," although this story isn't true. It's a dark tale, but an engaging one that kept me reading late into the night. I read this book because I loved Gillian Flynn's book Gone Girl. Both books are very dark, but i found this one to also be very sad and a little disturbing. The story is about a girl whose parents and sisters are murdered when she is young. She and her brother are the only surviving family members and her testimony (when she was 8) put him in prison for the murders. She is now a dysfunctional adult and starting to think about whether her testimony was accurate.
