| I just finished reading all three books by the author of "Gone Girl". Please recommend me another easy, page turner? I like contemporary books but I can be swayed. I dont like gobblins and fairies (so no Harry Potter or Mists of Avalon type books). Or sci-fi. Or Hunger Games or vampires. Sorry this isnt the most eloquent request but Im soooooooooooooo tired from staying up all night to finish that book and I have so much work to do but I really want another page turner. |

| Mr. Peanut was similar to Gone Girl. I think the author even wrote a cover blurb for Gone Girl. |

OP, how were the other two books besides Gone Girl? I heard that they're not as good as GG but I'd be curious to hear... |

| OP here. I thought they were as good as "Gone Girl". After reading them, I think GG seemed formulaic to me--but this was only a "in retrospect" thought. They are ugly--maybe even uglier than GG. The writing is very similar so I am not sure I can point to why people liked them less but i I did think of that fact as I read them. |

I loved this book:
http://www.amazon.com/Birth-Venus-Novel-Sarah-Dunant/dp/0812968972 I couldn't put this book down. Dunant is a suspense writer by training. |
