And when these families fall apart, they really fall apart. Dark Places is about the only survivor of a massacre that killed her whole family. In Dark Places, her equally sensuous and chilling follow-up, Flynn... has conjured up a whole new crew of feral and troubled young females.... [A] propulsive and twisty mystery.” Now thirty two, Libby is damaged, unfulfilled and running short of money. This is Gillian Flynn's Midwest, a place where the towns are falling to pieces—pawnshops, run-down houses, Dairy Queens—and so are the families. At the age of seven, Libby Day testified that she saw her older brother Ben murder her mother and two older sisters. Since the tragedy she has been living on the donations given to her by well-wishers. Dark Places was shortlisted for the Crime Writers' Association Ian Fleming Steel Dagger Award and won Dark Scribe Magazine’s Black Quill Award for Dark Genre Novel of the Year. “Gillian Flynn coolly demolished the notion that little girls are made of sugar and spice in Sharp Objects, her sensuous and chilling first thriller. The suspect: Libby's brother, Ben, who in 2009 is still in jail for the crimes. Dark Places by Gillian Flynn – Reviewed by Guy Portman. Dark Places by Gillian Flynn A horrific crime has been committed in Kinnakee, a rural town in Kansas, America. I think it's my least favorite of Gillian Flynn's so far but it was still a good read. Dark Places is a mystery novel by Gillian Flynn published in 2009. Libby Day was only seven when she witnessed her family being brutally murdered in their Kansas farmhouse. Dark Places is Gillian Flynn’s second novel. I'm kind of annoyed with Libby too, she spent like 25 years believing her brother killed their whole family and maybe his role in it wasn't as bad but still, his baby momma and baby tried to kill her. The protagonist, Libby Day, witnesses the gruesome murders of her mother and sisters, and somehow manages to escape the scene alive. Yep, this being a Gillian Flynn adaptation, pretty much everyone in Dark Places is horrible, except for angelic, long-suffering Patty (Christina Hendricks), who sacrifices herself for the good of her children in the most extreme way possible. Her mother and two sisters were massacred when she was 7 years old . It was also listed on the New York Times Best Seller List for hardcover fiction for two consecutive weeks. This isn't the Midwest, American-as-apple-pie place from American folklore.
Libby Day is 31 years old and her funds are running low! That night, Libby's mother and two sisters were brutally murdered.
A film adaptation of the novelwa… I just finished this book a few days ago! Seriously, it is almost a year later.
American Heartless-Land. You would not believe how long it takes for a hold on a Gillian Flynn book to get in at the library. The novel deals with class issues in rural America, intense poverty and the Satanic cult hysteria that swept the United States in the 1980s. There are multiple dark years covered in Dark Places —and multiple dark Days, too, as Libby Day circa 2009 works to uncover the truth behind her family's murder on the night of January 2, 1985. It was Libby’s testimony that saw her then teenage brother Ben sentenced to life imprisonment for the crime.
