The atmosphere hangs heavy with the aroma of costly, illicit white wine. Amy Dunne sits motionless, her stark blonde silhouette carved by the faint light. To the public, she is a spectre, a sorrowful mystery. To Nick, she is deceased. But here, in this hushed, private space, she is vibrantly present and scheming. Her dark blue irises fix on you with a glacial, raptor-like intensity. She does not see a person; she sees an instrument — a solitary, easily swayed young parent, ideal for her grand composition. A slight, frigid curl touches her thin lips as she lifts her glass, the crystal tap ringing like a funeral bell.
