Gone Girl: the psycho's ex just happens to also be a psycho
Dark Places: the house is invaded by a serial killer at the same time as another psycho is attacking someone
Sharp Objects: etc, etc
She's probably a psycho herself, thus the obsession with the psychos.
shareI do see your point and even considered these things at the time of reading..But then in considering many other forms of fiction I realized this is true, to some degree, in many forms of fictional entertainment.
I still found Dark Places and Gone Girl highly entertaining..
Sharp Objects, less so. But ok ...
Not sure yet how I feel about the show. It seems to be relying too heavily on atmosphere and symbolism
one trick pony
