I&#8217;ve enjoyed her witty, playful reviews for years. None of her work prepared me for her first book &#8211; a mesmerizing thriller that slowly builds a vibe of dread and without any overt force, almost effortlessly unravels the reader.\n<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"more\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\" http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Famazon.com%2Fgp%2Fproduct%2F0307341542&amp;tag=n029-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325\"><i>Sharp Objects<\/i><\/a><span class=\"wrap-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\" http:\/\/www.assoc-amazon.com\/e\/ir?t=n029-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" style=\"border:none !important; margin:0px !important;\" \/><\/span> is written in first person and tells the story of a reporter, Camille Preaker, who is sent on assignment by a second string Chicago newspaper to Wind Gap &#8211; a small Missouri town &#8211; to cover the killing of a little girl and the disappearance of another.<\/p>\n<p>Flynn eschews the formulaic trappings of a thriller &#8211; there are no cliffhangers that end each chapter, no page turning tricks. She brings each character into the story in slices and uses an impressionist way of describing them. &#8220;She was so insubstantial, I could imagine her slowly evaporating, leaving only a sticky spot on the edge of the sofa.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She is assured enough to piece together the puzzle for us well before the final chapter. Although she submits to one mass market somersault in the end &#8211; it easy to forgive her. Because, by then, she has delivered a stunner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title: Sharp Objects By: Gillian Flynn Buy from Amazon.com One of the most exhilarating reading experiences for me is to pick up a debut novel and be completely surprised by &#8230; <a title=\"A thriller without cliffhangers\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/indiauncut.com\/aspi-havewala-on-sharp-objects-by-gillian-flynn\/\" aria-label=\"More on A thriller without cliffhangers\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>A thriller without cliffhangers - India Uncut<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/indiauncut.com\/aspi-havewala-on-sharp-objects-by-gillian-flynn\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"A thriller without cliffhangers - India Uncut\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Title: Sharp Objects By: Gillian Flynn Buy from Amazon.com One of the most exhilarating reading experiences for me is to pick up a debut novel and be completely surprised by ...
