Gone girl
Nick Dunne
I waited for the police first in the kitchen, but the acrid smell of the burnt teakettle was curling up in the back of throat, underscoring my need to retch, so I drifted out on the front porch, sat on the top stair, and willed myself to be calm. I kept trying Amy's cell, and it kept going to voice mail, that quick-clip cadence swearing she'd phone right back. Amy always phoned right back. It had been three hours, and I'd left five messages, and Amy had not phoned back.
