Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
It is Nick and Amy Dunne's fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reservations are being made when Nick's clever and beautiful wife disappears from their rented McMansion on the Mississippi River. Under mounting pressure from the police and the media -- as well as Amy's fiercely doting parents -- the town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and he's definitely bitter -- but is he really a killer?

Team of Rivals by Doris Kearns Goodwin
Join us as we discuss the book that inspired the Oscar-buzzed film, Lincoln: Team of Rivals doesn't just tell the story of Abraham Lincoln.  It is a multiple biography of the entire team of personal and political competitors that he put together to lead the country through its greatest crisis.  Here, Doris Kearns Goodwin profiles five of the key players in her book, four of whom contended for the 1860 Republican presidential nomination and all of whom later worked together in Lincoln's cabinet.
