***A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER*** A New York Times Book Review “Editors’ Choice” Entertainment Weekly — Thriller Round-Up The Wall Street Journal — 5 Killer Books Hollywood Reporter — Hot Summer Books…16 Must Reads “This thriller’s all of your fave page-turners (think: Luckiest Girl Alive, The Girl on the Train, Gone Girl) rolled into one.” —TheSkimm “Both [Gillian] Flynn’s and Miranda’s main characters also reclaim the right of female characters to be more than victim or femme fatale… All the Missing Girls is set to become one of the best books of 2016.” —Los Angeles Review of Books “Extremely interesting…a novel that will probably be called Hitchcockian.” —The New York Times Book Review “Are you paying attention? You’ll need to be; this thriller will test your brain with its reverse chronological structure, and it’s a page-turner to boot.” —Elle Like the spellbinding psychological suspense in The Girl on the Train and Luckiest Girl Alive, Megan Miranda’s novel is a nail-biting, breathtaking story about the disappearances of two young women—a decade apart—told in reverse.It’s been ten years since Nicolette Farrell left her rural hometown after her best friend, Corinne, disappeared from Cooley Ridge without a trace. Back again to tie up loose ends and care for her ailing father, Nic is soon plunged into a shocking drama that reawakens Corinne’s case and breaks open old wounds long since stitched. The decade-old investigation focused on Nic, her brother Daniel, boyfriend Tyler, and Corinne’s boyfriend Jackson. Since then, only Nic has left Cooley Ridge. Daniel and his wife, Laura, are expecting a baby; Jackson works at the town bar; and Tyler is dating Annaleise Carter, Nic’s younger neighbor and the group’s alibi the night Corinne disappeared. Then, within days of Nic’s return, Annaleise goes missing. Told backwards—Day 15 to Day 1—from the time Annaleise goes missing, Nic works to unravel the truth about her younger neighbor’s disappearance, revealing shocking truths about her friends, her family, and what really happened to Corinne that night ten years ago. Like nothing you’ve ever read before, All the Missing Girls delivers in all the right ways. With twists and turns that lead down dark alleys and dead ends, you may think you’re walking a familiar path, but then Megan Miranda turns it all upside down and inside out and leaves us wondering just how far we would be willing to go to protect those we love.

"For me it started off slow, and then I read the last 3/4 fast! Good book told backwards. "

"I read this book on NetGalley and really enjoyed this book! It is a twist on a standard mystery - it is told from day 15 to day 1. This book could have been a total shitshow, but Miranda pulled it off well. I can't imagine how difficult it would be to share information backwards in a mystery, and still make the story cohesive. She did a great job. <br/><br/>I was vey into the book by about the halfway point. I may have been bored with another style of book, but since it's a mystery, I was just dying for more information. <br/><br/>I spent most of the book guessing who the villain was - my guess was constantly changing, which is a cool part of a mystery. I also really liked that the final answer made sense, and was acceptable in regard to the entire story.<br/><br/>I didn't connect with the main character very much, but I'm not sure that I was supposed to. She's not very likable, but I think that's okay. <br/><br/>A lot of the book focuses on looking at broken girls. I connected with this aspect of the book, and it reminded me of the parts I liked of Emma Cline's The Girls. The narrator's reflections reminded me of myself (mainly when I was younger) and friends I had (when I was younger). <br/><br/>I would like to give a bit of a trigger warning with abusive men. The main character just kind of sees it as a part of life, and I wish that she would have expected better for herself and those around her. <br/><br/>I'm happy with how everything wrapped up in the end and I hope y'all enjoy the book!"
"Loved this book! Definitely recommend "
