HBO Sharp Objects review: In Wind Gap, the truth about the past is closer than you think

Closer explores sexual manipulations, the way violence is weaved into Wind Gap's cultural fabric and inches a little further towards finding the truth.

"Preaker girls?"

"Good apple, bad tree."

It was Calhoun Day in sunny Wind Gap. Sundresses, beer, and the sound of laughter filled the air as though the town was never shaken by the sinister murders. Sweet words dripped from Adora's lips, as she played host to the people of her town. If I didn't know the story of 'Sharp Objects', I couldn't imagine a town happier than this, but since I do, it all smells as sickening as the leftover alcohol from a barbeque. 'Closer' picks up the pace of HBO's thriller a little too fast. Even though it is more confusing than ever, I'm almost certain about one thing - it wasn't Bob Nash or John Keene. It had to be a woman.
