The grownup by Gillian Flynn

"The grownup" by Gillian Flynn. This book is published by Orian publishing group in 2015 and has 96 pages.

A girl who begged during her childhood and was a hand job specialist turns into a fortune teller and aura reader. Susan comes to her with her problem and takes her to Susan's Victorian mansion. 

Can the fortune teller bluff her way? Can she pretend to help Susan? Or is there more to it?

It's a very good story. It's a thriller through and through. The buildup is slow but once it's done the things happen fast. There are multiple twists towards the end that increase the heartbeats of the reader. The story ends tantalizingly leaving a lot to the fertile imagination of the readers.

There are several possibilities about the reality and it is upto the reader, to decide for oneself, which one to believe. A good formula of success. It's a gripping story where the graph keeps on rising. 

This story has won 'The Edgar award'. Converting an award winning short story, by author of a famous book (Gone girl), into a standalone book is a commercial master stroke by publishers. I happened to notice this book in Bookworld in Dubai mall and read it because of the name of author and because the small size of book piqued my curiosity. Publishers won.

Looks like all Gillian Flynn book covers have got a black background with light colored lines making some kind of pattern. This book is no exception, the pattern being smoke.

Recommend reading but too small to purchase it as a book. Go to the library or borrow.
