Synopsis:


Littleport, Maine, has always felt like two separate towns: an ideal vacation enclave for the wealthy, whose summer homes line the coastline; and a simple harbor community for the year-round residents whose livelihoods rely on service to the visitors.

Typically, fierce friendships never develop between a local and a summer girl—but that’s just what happens with visitor Sadie Loman and Littleport resident Avery Greer. Each summer for almost a decade, the girls are inseparable—until Sadie is found dead. While the police rule the death a suicide, Avery can’t help but feel there are those in the community, including a local detective and Sadie’s brother, Parker, who blame her. Someone knows more than they’re saying, and Avery is intent on clearing her name, before the facts get twisted against her.

Another thrilling novel from the bestselling author of All the Missing Girls and The Perfect Stranger, Megan Miranda’s The Last House Guest is a smart, twisty read with a strong female protagonist determined to make her own way in the world.



Review:

Following our first mystery this am, this story has almost as many twists and red herrings, that will keep you turning the pages long into the night! When the ending comes,it is with some surprise, but also a sense of a plot well laid out and hidden in plain sight! This is the book to take on vacation with you, to sink into, while laying around and relaxing! Miranda does a great job once again with giving the reader a taught mystery, don't miss this one!
