Rolling Prairie Read Rolling Prairie Reader’s Group
Rolling Prairie
Tuesday, Jun 4, 10:00 AM
Discuss the wildly-popular "Gone Girl", by critically-acclaimed author Gillian Flynn.  When a woman goes missing on her fifth wedding anniversary, her diary reveals hidden turmoil in her marriage and a mysterious illness, while her husband, desperate to clear himself of suspicion, realizes that something more disturbing than murder may have occurred.  Compulsively-readable "Gone Girl" is a toxic mix of sharp-edged wit and deliciously chilling prose-- a nerve-fraying thriller that confounds you at every turn.  Come out and join in the conversation!
