I am super excited to be able to review an ARC of Megan Miranda's latest novel The Last House Guest. This book is a psychological thriller, perfect for fans of Girl on the Train.
So a bit about the book. Littleport, Maine is a summer town. When a friendship blossoms between a summer girl named Sadie and the year rounder named Avery, it's a little unexpected, but they remain good friends for close to ten years. Then Sadie is found dead at the bottom of a cliff near the ocean, and the police believe it to be a suicide. Flash forward years later and Avery is in the family home (she's employed by them as vacation property management) when she finds Sadie's cellphone. It is a phone that the police were never able to recover.
So was Sadie's death a suicide? Was it a murder? And if so, is the murderer still out there watching them all? I guess you'll have to read the book to find out.
My thoughts without giving it all away? This novel was a quick read, but I think that I fell in love with the cover more than I fell in love with the prose inside. I would rate it 3.5 out of 5 Coffee Beans.
Until the next read!
