Sharp Objects follows a reporter back to her hometown to investigate the disappearance of a young girl and the murder of another. These crimes stir up the small town as well as a tumultuous relationship between the reporter and her mother. The mystery is well-crafted with more twists and turns than you might expect, most in the final third of the book which makes it exciting, but also means that it takes awhile for the rather slim novel to develop and for the mystery to percolate. All in all, though, an interesting, if disturbing, read.
