In Gone Girl, did you enjoy ...

... plot twists and shifting truths?

The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins

If you loved the shocking revelations and mind-bending turns in Gone Girl, you'll be hooked by The Girl on the Train. Rachel's unreliable perspective and the constantly shifting narrative will keep you guessing at every turn, just like Nick and Amy's manipulations did.

... narrators you can't trust?

The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides

If Amy's and Nick's unreliable storytelling fascinated you in Gone Girl, The Silent Patient will take you even deeper into the mind games. Alicia's silence and Theo's investigation create a web of deceit and ambiguity that unravels in jaw-dropping fashion.

... morally gray characters with hidden motives?

The Wife Between Us by Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen

If you were drawn to the morally ambiguous choices of both Amy and Nick, The Wife Between Us delivers more characters whose motivations are murky and whose actions are unpredictable. Every relationship is more complicated than it seems, and the lines between villain and victim blur.

... psychological games and inner turmoil?

Before I Go to Sleep by S. J. Watson

If you enjoyed the deep dive into the psyches of Nick and Amy, Before I Go to Sleep puts you inside the mind of Christine, who wakes up every day with no memory. The psychological tension and unraveling of truth mirror the suspenseful exploration of identity and trust in Gone Girl.

... multiple perspectives revealing secrets?

Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty

If you liked how Gone Girl wove together Nick's and Amy's perspectives to reveal layered secrets, Big Little Lies uses multiple points of view to slowly peel back the truth behind a suburban tragedy. Each character holds a piece of the puzzle, keeping you guessing until the final page.
