a page turner that had a ridiculous ending. when I closed the back cover, my reaction was: meh. blackout drunks that can function (walk, talk, navigate)?  and bringing other people into the husband's lies that could easily corroborate them (or not) wouldn't have happened. and, as a fellow bookclub member said: you knew who was the killer as soon as the third narrator showed up 1/3rd through the book (which is late for a narrator, and could only be for one purpose). so I'm glad I read this, since it's such a summer phenomenon, but it wasn't anywhere as good as Gone Girl.
