On a warm summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and Amy Dunneās fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reservations are being made when Nickās clever and beautiful wife disappears. Husband-of-the-Year Nick isnāt doing himself any favors with cringe-worthy daydreams about the slope and shape of his wifeās head, but passages from Amy's diary reveal the alpha-girl perfectionist could have put anyone dangerously on edge. Under mounting pressure from the police and the mediaāas well as Amyās fiercely doting parentsāthe town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior.
