Gone Girl Novel Review

Gone Girl is the third novel by Spanish writer Paco. A thriller set in the present day in a small town in Castile, Spain, it immediately became a national bestseller.

The main characters in the novel are a couple, Pepe and Lola, now living in Pepe’s hometown of Benavente after he was made redundant as a welder. Now he owns a bar, opened with his wife’s inheritance. On the day of his tenth wedding anniversary, Pepe discovers his wife is missing. Due to different reasons, he becomes a prime suspect. The first half of the book is told in the third person from the point of view of two different omnipresent narrators. The two stories told are quite different, and they are told from the vision of a friend of him and her. One of them describes Pepe as stubborn and antisocial, whereas the other one makes him out to be aggressive and difficult. As a result, the reader is guessing whether Pepe is guilty or not.

The great strength of this book is how the characters are known little by little. Despite having the typical nuances of a common thriller (several suspects), the novel is also thought-provoking. Not only is this a complex and gripping book, but it also tackles daily problems of society. For all lovers of psychological thrillers, it is a must.
