Camilla Läckberg's
The Golden Cage is
Gone Girl on acid, a psychological tale crammed with sex, secrets, and scandal — and lots of it — to the point that the manipulation and revenge feels not only right, but also pushes the story beyond vengeance in satisfyingly tackling themes of redemption and power, of male entitlement and domination, of high-society women trapped in golden cages, and the devilishly clever payback of a spurned trophy wife who's lost it all. At a time when domestic thrillers are increasingly exploring #MeToo stories through the lens of toxic masculinity and domestic abuse, Läckberg's a smart variation that, despite its flat prose and hardly original premise, resonates for its insights into women's capacity for self-sacrifice and retaliation. A breathless, inventive, and over-the-top thriller primed for the big screen!
