Dysfunctional Family Time

Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn

Camille is a reporter for a small Chicago newspaper. Her editor gets wind of a murder mystery in her home town, and sends Camille home to cover it. While there, Camille finds herself reliving moments of her childhood with her mother.

Camille had a younger sister who died because she was sickly, or so everyone believed. It took coming home to investigate the deaths of two young girls for Camille to find out otherwise. Camille also becomes acquainted with her youngest sister, who is not what she appears to be.

The whole time Camille is home, she is mind f#$%ed by her mother and sister, and this causes issues. Camille does end up finding out who the killer is.

I know I did a bad job summing this up, but I REALLY don't want to give it away. I could not put this one down. I wish there were more of Flynn's books because she keeps me enthralled. They're fiction, but they draw the reader in, and they feel so real.
