Just finished Gone Girl and liked it, but think these are even better --

A Place of Execution -- Val McDermid
What the Dead Know -- Laura Lippman

I just finished reading "Catch Me" by Lisa Gardner. I loved the many points of view, and the seemingly unrelated plots and how they all pulled together, including the eerily contemporary internet predator story line. Highly recommended.
