Reviews"This thriller's all of your fav 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 "Intricately plotted...Ms. Miranda brings heightened suspense and a twist to this familiar scenario by telling the story, which unfolds over 15 days, in reverse chronological order." --  The   New York Times     "Fast-paced and frightening,  All the Missing Girls  will teach you why it's dangerous to go into the woods alone at night." -- Refinery29 " All the Missing Girls  is the archetypal murder mystery, the kind it seems like everyone has been hungry for since Gillian Flynn's  Gone Girl  and Paula Hawkins's  Girl on a Train ." -- Cosmopolitan.com "A new spin on a classic "missing person" thriller,  All the Missing Girls  is the perfect read for thriller fans." -- Bustle.com "In  All the Missing Girls  Megan Miranda leads readers back through the past of a small southern town, enfolding them in a slow, tense nightmare of suspicion, menace, and tangled motives. A twisty, compulsive read--I loved it." -- Ruth Ware, author of IN A DARK, DARK WOOD "Fiendishly plotted...Miranda convincingly conjures a haunted setting that serves as a character in its own right, but what really makes this roller-coaster so memorable is her inspired use of reverse chronology, so that each chapter steps further back in time, dramatically shifting the reader's perspective." --  Publishers Weekly , starred review "As original as it is addictive, this story puts a knot in your gut from the opening pages. Then, through the wizardry of its unconventional structure, that knot tightens and tightens and will not let go until the final pages--and even then the story continues to haunt you. Vividly rendered, psychologically complex, and narratively acrobatic,  All The Missing Girls  is, above all, totally gripping." -- Tim Johnston,  New York Times  bestselling author of DESCENT "Darkly nostalgic....Miranda takes a risk by telling the story backward, but it pays off with an undroppable thriller, plenty of romantic suspense, and a fresh take on the decades-old teenage-murder theme." --  Booklist   " All the Missing Girls  is a smart, suspenseful, and emotionally complex thriller. Told in reverse, this story will make you want to lock the doors, turn off the phone, and read until the last satisfying page." -- Alafair Burke,  New York Times  bestselling author of THE EX "Megan Miranda's utterly gripping and original  All the Missing Girls  keeps you off balance in the most perfect way.

I recommend this book to anyone looking for a good mystery, dark characters, or pretty much anyone in existence., Fiendishly plotted...Miranda convincingly conjures a haunted setting that serves as a character in its own right, but what really makes this roller-coaster so memorable is her inspired use of reverse chronology, so that each chapter steps further back in time, dramatically shifting the reader's perspective., It's one of those unreliable narrator psychological thrillers that once you start it, you will be utterly compelled to keep turning the pages until you get to the end to find out  what the hell really happened?
