Sharp Objects

THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING FIRST NOVEL FROM THE AUTHOR OF GONE GIRL

“Riveting.”—PEOPLE “A terrific debut . . . elevated by sharp writing and sharper insights.”—STEPHEN KING “Keeps you reading with the force of a pure but nasty addiction.”—CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Fresh from a brief stay at a psych hospital, reporter Camille Preaker faces a troubling assignment: she must return to her tiny hometown to cover the murders of two preteen girls. For years, Camille has hardly spoken to her neurotic, hypochondriac mother or to the half-sister she barely knows: a beautiful thirteen-year-old with an eerie grip on the town.

Now, installed in her old bedroom in her family's Victorian mansion, Camille finds herself identifying with the young victims—a bit too strongly. Dogged by her own demons, she must unravel the psychological puzzle of her own past if she wants to get the story—and survive this homecoming.
