What is Sharp Objects about?
Journalist and recovering alcoholic Camille Preaker, recently released from a psychiatric ward, is sent back to her hometown Wind Gap to investigate the murder of two teenage girls. The town immediately sparks flashbacks to Camille’s troubled childhood, when her sister Marian died mysteriously. Intensifying matters, Camille is living with her belittling socialite mother, Adora.
It seems no one in town is particularly keen to divulge anything to Camille or to her sometimes-lover, Detective Richard Wills. With the killer still looming large, Camille, still battling her own demons, begins to fear for her younger half-sister, Amma.
