Books by Gillian Flynn

Gillian Flynn is an American author and screenwriter. Before writing fiction she worked as a television critic at Entertainment Weekly. Gone Girl, her third novel, was published in 2012 and became one of the best-selling thrillers of the decade, adapted into a 2014 David Fincher film with Rosamund Pike and Ben Affleck. Flynn also wrote the screenplay for the film. Her earlier novels — Sharp Objects and Dark Places — are similarly dark in tone and were later adapted as television series. She is known for writing female characters who are genuinely dangerous rather than sympathetic victims.
