Over the last few days I've read Think of A Number by John Verdon, which was OK, and Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. Nearly gave up on Gone Girl because quite frankly, I was finding it hard to give a toss about the two protagonists, both narcissistic and unlikeable; but I wanted to see what all the furore had been about! So I persevered and ended up rather admiring the twists and turns of the plot, but I'm still not sure why it caused such a fuss when it came out!
Am now reading A Cold Season by Alison Littlewood.
