I thought the book terrific. The author has written two of the books and yes....the heroins are quite dark. You can't really call them heroins. The characters are very gritty. Since the success of the book, several new books have appeared...all with the same dark, gritty female characters. I don't know if it's a trend or what. Might be a trend. Because that book made the author a ton of money.
There is a much better book I recently read and was very, very impressed. It will soon be a film. It's called Girl on a Train. It's a scary, sometimes funny book about recently divorced women in the UK commuting on the train 5 days a week. The twist is that she doesn't have a job. She got fired and divorced with days of each other. But still she travels on the train. She's morally more stable compared to Girl Gone, the daily train trips goes my her old house with her husband still there with a new woman. She ends up becoming a sleuth because a women goes missing from one of the houses she sees going by on the train. And there's a killer on the loose and strange characters on the train. Great book. I devoured it in 2 hours.

Probably a trend. I don't mind dark as long as our hero/heroine is essentially good.
In this story that just can't be said.
