***A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER*** A New York Times Book Review
"Editors' Choice" Entertainment Weekly -- Thriller Round-Up The Wall Street Journal -- 5 Killer Books for 2016 Hollywood Reporter -- Hot Summer Books...16 Must Reads
"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.

Professional Reviews
"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
"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
"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
"Megan Miranda''s utterly gripping and original All the Missing Girls keeps you off balance in the most perfect way. I was held hostage by the book from the first page to the stunning conclusion. This literally backward tale is a winner." --Lisa Lutz, author of THE PASSENGER and HOW TO START A FIRE
"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
"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
"Some
"girl" books worth a deeper look this season include The Girls , by Emma Cline, and Megan Miranda''s All the Missing Girls ." -- The Rumpus
"The twist here is that the story of the disappearance of two teen girls 10 years apart -- linked by the narrator who was friends with one and knew the other -- is told backwards." -- Hollywood Reporter
"A really intense and extraordinarily clever novel, taking that entirely popular premise of a missing person and turning it on its head... If you love your psychological thrillers but would like to see a new take then I would highly recommend All the Missing Girls . In fact if you are a fan of great writing, great storytelling and can appreciate subtleties of plot and character then I would highly recommend All The Missing Girls no matter your preferred reading genre." --Liz Loves Books
"A twisty plot, unreliable narrator and high-concept hook (the story unfolds backward, present to past) is drawing comparisons to Gone Girl ." -- Hollywood Reporter
"If you love a creepy mystery in an evocative setting that is practically a character in its own right, bump this to the top of your list." -- Modern Mrs. Darcy
"Holy f-ing crap this book is fantastic... Miranda has pulled off an incredibly complicated story with very real characters... I''ve said it before and I''ll say it again, female writers are KILLING IT in 2016. Put this book on your Must Read list now!" --Lost Bookmark
"I really don't even want to start my next book, I just want to go back and devour this again! I recommend this book to anyone looking for a good mystery, dark characters, or pretty much anyone in existence." --Bright Copy
"Original, engaging, and beautifully written. All the Missing Girls has it all! A spine-tingling ride from beginning to end." --The Serial Reader
"The twists are phenomenal. You DO NOT see them coming!" --Sunshine with Wine
"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?
" --Busty Book Bimbo
"an excellent thriller. I was up till 3 something this morning because I couldn't go to bed without finding out what happened to Annaleise and Corinne." --Reviews by a Thrifty Mom
"If you like gritty mysteries with complex female narrators this is the book for you - fans of Cornelia Reade and Lori Rader-Day will love Megan Miranda." --Gudrun's Tights
"People have been recommending this book to me for awhile now...When I first heard that the story was backwards I was both intrigued and somewhat skeptical... Well rest assured, it works. It works better than I would''ve imagined." --Novel Gossip
"We asked our crack team of booksellers to share their candidates for girl of the summer 2016..." --Kobo Newsroom
"The story overall is a good one with twists and turns you don''t see coming." --Red Carpet Crash
"Miranda has done something really special here!" --Dream by Day
"This was a suspenseful book, that had me wondering
"who dunnit" the whole time." -- Herald Net
"a tense psychological thriller...The twist is fantastic." -- Angel Net Reviews
"you do read as fast as you can to try to figure out what the heck happened. Miranda manages to do this and not give away the big reveals until the end, which is laudable." -- She Treads Softly
"A very ambitious book...a highly compelling read." -- High Voltage Mag
"June brought us more girlish fiction:
"The Girls" by Emma Cline,
"Vinegar Girl" by Anne Tyler and - out next week - Megan Miranda's
"All the Missing Girls." In July and August,
"Girl" titles will emerge in suspense, chick lit, historical fiction and a novel described as an update of
"Pride and Prejudice."" -- Houston Chronicle
