All the Missing Girls by Megan Miranda
5.0
This book was super twisty and intriguing - and quite hard to put down. I had to concentrate on it, though, because like the movie Memento, it was told reverse.
After the opening scene, it starts to go backwards, through two weeks, to the beginning. It was fascinating watching the story peel itself back that way, watching the characters become more and more layered.
Nic Farrell returns to her little hometown to deal with her ailing father and their old house. There's a lot of history here, most especially between Nic and her brother, and their friends - including Corinne, Nic's best friend who went missing a decade prior. Suddenly there's another girl in town that's gone missing, and the similarities between the two disappearances are enough to set Nic on a little investigation of her own.
Don't want to spoil this too much; suffice to say this is a great read. Tight plotting, clean delivery, and an original (if not completely unique...rare enough) method of storytelling, AtMG was a winner.
Thanks Netgalley, for the book!
