“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.

5By kaykaybean13Another stellar and mind blowing brilliantly executed riveting experience down the rabbit hole of conspiracy theories and whiplashing plot twists that will never cease to astonishAll The Missing Girls
5By JayAy DA definite page turner! Megan Miranda never disappoints with keeping me on the edge of my seat!Purposely confusing
2By dominolouisIt’s not just the timeline of the story one struggles with but the purposely opaque writing that removes any pleasure in reading it. Leaves me less than satisfied with having slogged through it.Good book
3By bookmiTime line was a little hard to follow during but made sense in he end. Good story all In allPage turner
5By DadlabThis book sweeps the reader into a mystery and paints a picture so powerful it feels weird returning to real life.Good read
4By MorgoneoI really enjoyed this book only reason I’m giving it a 4 star review is I wish the ending had more of a definite clarification.From finish to start..
5By Jnk3Amazing!!Confusing writing
3By ApthompsGood plot but I hate how the story was told in reverse. Very confusing and difficult to remember the important parts.Kept me guessing til the end
4By Sjmp9009The beginning was interesting and kept me guessing and couldn’t put it down. Then, about half way through I was able to put it down. When I started reading it again I couldn’t put it down again and loved it!! I loved it so much that I told a couple coworkers about and they’re now reading it and loving it too!! It was written differently than most books but it was amazing!!Read backwards!
4By Karlee's opinionPage turner but the reverse order of the days was frustrating, clunky, and pointless to the story. Fortunately, a digit book with Table of Contents allowed me to easily read them in order
