This is a story about Libby Day. When Libby was seven years old, her mother and two sisters were murdered in their rural Kansas home. Libby escaped, hid from the killer, and lived. The famous killings were labeled as “The Satan Sacrifice of Kinnakee, Kansas”, and young Libby testified that her brother did it.
The story flashes to twenty-five years later, when Libby is ready to face her imprisoned brother, and find out the truth of that fatal night. She meets”The Killing Club”, who researches and tries to solve cult crimes. They convince her to visit her brother, find her drifter father, and others who may know the real events of her family’s demise. Hearing new evidence and opening her mind, Libby finally begins to heal, and reconcile her demons.
Chicago-based author, Gillian Flynn writes with abandon, exposing the haunted past of a damaged little girl and her steps out of the darkness. I highly recommend this book to readers like me, who don’t mind the macabre. Flynn’s earlier book, “Sharp Objects” is also a good read that shows her signature style.
