Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn

I loved this book.  It was a slow start.  I didn't want the first fifty pages, but once I made it past those, I couldn't stop reading.  I didn't want to go to sleep.  I went to the park at lunch to read.  We closed my office early so I could go home and finish it.

The basic premise is that a reporter is assigned to her hometown to investigate the gruesome murder of a young girl.  Soon, another young girl is killed.  The reporter explores the murder, navigates romantic and sexual relationships, and explores her strained family ties.

I highly recommend this book.  I am already looking forward to the next.
