A masterful psychological suspense debut about the disappearances of two young women—a decade apart—told in reverse. “All the Missing Girls is set to become one of the best books of 2016” (Los Angeles Review of Books).Twenty-eight-year-old Nicolette Farrell returns to Cooley Ridge, North Carolina, ten years after her best friend Corinne disappeared without a trace. Nic plans to tie up loose ends and care for her ailing father, but she is soon plunged into a new drama that reawakens Corinne’s case and breaks open old wounds that have not healed. The decade-old investigation focused on Nic, her brother Daniel, boyfriend Tyler, and Corinne’s boyfriend Jackson. Since, 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. Then, within days of Nic’s return, Annaleise goes missing. Hailed “Hitchcockian” by The New York Times Book Review, All the Missing Girls is told backwards—from the time Annaleise goes missing prompting Nic to unravel the truth about what really happened to Corinne that night ten years ago. With plenty of twists and turns that lead down dark alleys and dead ends, Megan Miranda turns it all upside down and inside out and leaves you wondering just how far you might go to protect those you love.

I'm on a bit of a mystery kick these days. I've got a few rather "heavy" books I'm working on, but I'm not always in the right headspace or environment to be completely engrossed in a book. When that's the case, I go to my comfort food: mysteries and espionage for a read that I know I'll finish easi...
Had I known this book was written backwards I would have never read it. It's a gimmick to cover up a story that has no surprises if written in a traditional way. This ploy failed to cover up the transparent ending for me. I thought it a waste of time. Only my self-enforced pledge to finish what I...
I thought this book was quite good. I was confused towards the ending though and I didn't quite like how it moved back in time; present day back to day 15 than back to present day. It was very good overall though.
This book was terrible. Besides a gimmick of telling the main story backwards (which I swear I have seen before in books like "The Secret History") there was nothing appealing about this book. The main character was terrible, her family was terrible, and there was no development at all with secondar...
