Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. "Gone Girl" begins with Nick Dunne's somewhat eerie interest in a part of his wife's body. He says, "When I think of my wife, I always think of her ___". What is the missing body part?

Answer: Head

The novel's first few sentences are: "When I think of my wife, I always think of her head. The shape of it, to begin with. The very first time I saw her, it was the back of the head I saw, and there was something lovely about it, the angles of it". Near the end of the tale, Nick scrutinizes "the back of her skull".

"Gone Girl" was published in 2012.
2. On the day the tale begins, Amy inexplicably disappears. Nick comes home to find his front door wide open, the iron on, and the teakettle burning. Why is this a special day?

Answer: It is Nick and Amy's wedding anniversary.

The story begins on the morning of Nick and Amy's fifth wedding anniversary. Their marriage is clearly troubled, but it appears as if Amy is trying to make amends. Nick goes off to work, but returns when a neighbor informs him that his front door is open. Nick comes home to find shattered glass and upturned furniture, but there is no sign of Amy. She's gone (hence the title).
3. When Nick starts questioning the locals about Amy's disappearance, what startling information does he discover?

Answer: Amy had wanted to buy a gun.

When Nick, along with several helpers, goes to the mall to question the suspicious Blue Book Boys about Amy's disappearance, he receives surprising information from Lonnie. Lonnie discloses that Amy wanted to buy a gun: "One that stops someone fast". This news baffles Nick as he knows of no one that has been bothering Amy.
4. Why does Nick suspect Amy's ex-boyfriend Desi Collings of foul play?

Answer: Amy told Nick that Desi had been obsessively stalking her for years.

Amy had a history of supposedly being stalked. She described her ex-boyfriend Desi Collings as being obsessed with her. When Nick goes to confront Desi, he hears a different tale from the one Amy told. Desi states that he never stalked Amy. He sums it up as, "Oh, I probably did pine for her. But nothing out of the ordinary".
5. Nick's twin sister Margo (affectionately called 'Go') is disgusted when she find out his secret. What is it?

Answer: He's been having an affair.

Nick, accused wife murderer, has been having an affair with a twenty-three-year-old girl named Andie. To make matters worse, Andie is Nick's former student. Margo is bitterly disappointed when Nick tells her that he's been having an affair for more than a year.
6. Amy ingeniously leads Nick on a wild goose chase through the ruse of a treasure hunt. Is each clue hidden in a spot where he'd had a special moment with Amy?

Answer: No

Amy's clues actually lead to places where Nick had cheated on Amy (with Andie). Amy's sweetly-worded clues are actually designed to make Nick look guilty of murder.
7. As more and more evidence points to Nick being his wife's murderer, he finally solicits the help of attorney Tanner Bolt. Tanner tells Nick about Amy's history with a man named Tommy O'Hara. What did Amy accuse Tommy of doing?

Answer: Date-raping her

Nick learns that Amy had briefly dated Tommy O'Hara in 2005. She accused him of date-raping her, but later dropped the charges. Nick contacts Tommy only to learn that Amy had framed him for rape. Tommy warns Nick that he should be very afraid of Amy.
8. In part two of the novel, what does the reader immediately learn?

Answer: Amy is not dead.

Part two begins with these chilling words from the supposedly dead antagonist: "I'm so much happier now that I'm dead. Technically, missing. Soon to be presumed dead". Amy has staged her own murder and framed her hapless husband in the process. In part one, the reader heard Amy's thoughts through fake journal entries.

In part two, Amy's story is told in the present-tense in her true voice.
9. Which secondary character gets savagely murdered in "Gone Girl"?

Answer: Desi Collings

When Amy unexpectedly runs out of money, she turns to Desi for help. He's more than happy to oblige, but he quickly gains an uncomfortable amount of control over her. Amy begins to long for Nick, so she murders Desi and then tells everyone that Desi had kidnapped her.
10. Who has the last word in the novel?

Answer: Amy

The novel ends with Amy and Nick tentatively restarting their relationship. Amy is pregnant, so Nick chooses not to leave her. He also ruminates that he's reaching Amy's "level of madness". The novel ends with Amy's sociopathic inner dialogue. It's a truly chilling end to a twisted tale.
