Gillian Flynn: Dark Places (Hardcover, 2009, Shaye Areheart Books)

I have a menness inside me, real as an organ.

Eh... could be worse could be better

Only mildly interesting, bordering on, dare I say, boring? The novel aspires to a damning commentary on American violence, class, hypocrisy, etc. or something like that with our main protagonist living off of the charity and sensationalism of her family's murder. Unfortunately for me there was just nothing all that interesting or substantial about this one. It hits the same notes as Flynn's other works with less resonance so it only feels repetitive.
