Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn

I read this book September 2017

Gillian Flynn is the author of Gone Girl, I enjoyed both the book and film of Gone Girl. I wasn't disappionted with this new novel.  The action centres around a reporter sent back to her home town to report on the murder of two small girls.  The homecoming is not a welcome or happy one for Camille.  Her mother step father and half sister seem to have a close relationship, in which she is not included.
The plot reveals Munchhausen by Proxy, the death of Camilles sister when she was small and a wicked world of hate and spite.

The Sharp Objects of the title is a nod to the fact that Camille is a 'cutter' and cuts words into her flesh.

Really quite disturbing, I hope this gets made into a film as well
