ur girl is not a very good investigator!!!

I’ll give Gillian Flynn that she can build tension like few other writers. That said, the ending felt rushed and I had problems rooting for our protagonist - the character felt incomplete.

An odd amount of sexualisation that wasn't really necessary for the story.
