All the Missing Girls: A Novel by Megan Miranda

Description

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.
