For the
longest time I have been searching for a book that is just the right amount of
a suspenseful mystery that is tied up with a nice bow at the end of the story,
and All The Missing Girls, by Megan Miranda is just that book. I haven’t read
and of Megan Miranda’s other books yet, but I cannot wait to get my hands on
her next thriller, The Perfect Stranger. Apparently Miranda is an established
young adult author and All The Girls Missing was her first book for adults she
has written, and she did a pretty outstanding job.
Nicolette
Farrell has spent years trying to put distance between herself and her hometown
of Cooley Ridge, NC, drop her accent, and acclimate to living in a large city,
getting engaged, and being successful in her profession. It has been 10 years
since Nicolette first left her small rural hometown after her best friend,
Corinne, disappeared without a trace. Nicolette has planned to come back to
Cooley Ridge for the summer to tie up lose ends, care for her ailing father,
and fix her childhood home up so she and her brother will be a to sell it.
After being back for a few day Nic is surrounded by drama that reawakens
Corinne’s case and reopens old wounds.
The 10-year-old
investigation focused on Nic, her brother Daniel, boyfriend Tyler, and
Corinne’s boyfriend Jackson. Nic was the only one out of the four who was able
to make it out of Cooley Ridge; Daniel and his wife are expecting a baby,
Jackson owns a bar, and Tyler has taken over his father’s construction company
and is dating Nic’s younger neighbor, Annaleise Carter, who acted as the group’s
alibi years earlier. Nic is back only a few days before Annaleise goes missing.
The story
of Annaleise’s disappearance is told backwards starting on day 15 and ending on
day 1. Nic works to unravel the truth about Annaleise’s disappearance, which in
turn reveal shocking truths about her friends, family, and what really happened
to Corinne the night she went missing.
All The Missing Girls, by Megan Miranda will hold your attention to the point where you
find yourself saying ‘just one more chapter’ till you have eventually read the
entire book. A perfect Memorial Day Weekend and summer read!
