Published: Aug. 16, 2018, 12:20 p.m.

The sordid mysteries of the Wind Gap murders and Camille Preaker\u2019s tragic past begin to reveal themselves in these eight chapters from Gillian Flynn\u2019s Sharp Objects. Luke and James have seen half of the HBO series starring Amy Adams and compare their experience with the show to what they get in the novel. This coverage does not include the final 2 chapters of the book, so all has not yet been revealed.
