There are comparisons to Gone Baby Gone, but aside for there being a husband and wife perspective, the comparisons are not particularly apt.
I haven't read The Silent Wife, but do you mean Gone Girl?
Willow: That's a work ethic! Buffy, you're developing a work ethic! Buffy: Do they make an ointment for that?
'Beneath You'
Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Oh Jesse,
of course I mean Gone Girl.
Ginger,
I echo your frustrations. In addition to what you typed, I think there is a very interesting story about how power corrupts and the role of nature vs nurture. I was pretty struck when it was revealed in the 2nd (?) book that Amity was drugging its citizens regularly to maintain order. While the threat of living outside the margins of society was imposed to keep all factions in line. The dominance, control, oppression themes had interesting possibilities that fell by the wayside in the 3rd book .

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
le nubian, I totally agree with you on Amity in the second book. I think I actually re-read that part, because my brain went, "What, WHAT do they do???"

Three sent to your profile addy. You just click on the attachments and save them and they'll play on anything that runs an MP3.
Meant to reply sooner, but I'm behind on my profile address. I got two emails (they ended up in my junk folder & it took me a while to parse the sender name). Does on of them have two recordings? Haven't had a chance to listen yet, but thanks a lot!

They're really evocative of the source material! Very cool.
