En un caluroso día de verano, Amy y Nick se disponen a celebrar su quinto aniversario de bodas en North Carthage, a orillas del río Mississippi. Pero Amy desaparece esa misma mañana sin dejar rastro. A medida que la investigación policial avanza las sospechas recaen sobre Nick. Sin embargo, Nick insiste en su inocencia. Es cierto que se muestra extrañamente evasivo y frío, pero ¿es un asesino?

 Perdida arranca como todo buen thriller que se precie: una mujer desaparecida, una investigación policial... Pero es que Perdida no es solo un buen thriller. Es una obra maestra. Un thriller psicológico brillante con una trama tan apasionante y giros tan inesperados que es absolutamente imposible parar de leer. Perdida es también una novela sobre el lado más oscuro del matrimonio, sobre los engaños, las decepciones, la obsesión, el miedo. Una radiografía completamente actual de los medios de comunicación y su capacidad para modelar la opinión pública. Pero sobre todo es la historia de amor de dos personas perdidamente enamoradas.

      Starred review from September 24, 2012
      Flynn’s bestselling novel is a dark and cynical treatise on how malignant a marriage can become when the wrong people say “I do.” The book begins with Nick Dunne’s first-person account of wife Amy’s disappearance on their fifth wedding anniversary and his subsequent encounters with the local North Carthage, Miss., homicide detectives who suspect him of murder. Interspersed throughout the book are Amy’s diary entries, which chart her possibly unreliable version of her and Nick’s meeting, marriage, and eventual growing apart. This literary setup is perfect for the dueling narration provided by Julia Whelan and Kirby Heyborne. The latter has a soft, youthful delivery that registers a vague sincerity that could also be interpreted as sarcasm—just the sort of voice one might expect from an intelligent, oddly disaffected, potential wife killer. Whelan’s version of Amy is filled with entitlement, egotism, and the edgy anger of a genuine or imagined victim. The combined narration of Whelan and Heyborne infuse Flynn’s bestseller with an energy that audio fans will find even more satisfying. A Crown hardcover.
