The Perfect Stranger

By Megan Miranda

Book Overview

In the masterful follow-up to the New York Times bestseller All the Missing Girls --"think: Luckiest Girl Alive , The Girl on the Train , Gone Girl " ( TheSkimm )--a journalist sets out to find a missing friend, a friend who may never have existed at all. Confronted by a restraining order and the threat of a lawsuit, failed journalist Leah Stevens needs to get out of Boston when she runs into an old friend, Emmy Grey, who has just left a troubled relationship. Emmy proposes they move to rural Pennsylvania, where Leah can get a teaching position and both women can start again. But their new start is threatened when a woman with an eerie resemblance to Leah is assaulted by the lake, and Emmy disappears days later. Determined to find Emmy, Leah cooperates with Kyle Donovan, a handsome young police officer on the case. As they investigate her friend's life for clues, Leah begins to wonder: did she ever really know Emmy at all? With no friends, family, or a digital footprint, the police begin to suspect that there is no Emmy Grey. Soon Leah's credibility is at stake, and she is forced to revisit her past: the article that ruined her career. To save herself, Leah must uncover the truth about Emmy Grey--and along the way, confront her old demons, find out who she can really trust, and clear her own name. Everyone in this rural Pennsylvanian town has something to hide--including Leah herself. How do you uncover the truth when you are busy hiding your own?

Customer Reviews

Very unpredictable!

This is exactly the kind of book that I love reading. The main character did a lot of her own detective work, which I admired. There were so many twists and turns that I never knew what was going to happen next. The ending was perfect.

Easy Read

This book was hard to believe and at times I wanted to scream at the main character. Many things that happened didn't make sense. At the end I guess it all came together and made sense.

Good mystery

I really enjoyed this mystery . Really liked the ending

Enjoyed It!

This Was The First Book I've Ever Read From This Author And I'm Excited To Read More. The Story Kept Me Going, So Many Twists And Turns That I Honestly Didn't See Coming At All Until The Last Moment! The Ending Made Me Laugh A Bit Tbh.

Great Read!

Page turning thriller that leaves you wanting more!

Not expecting that!

Wow. It took me no time to devour this one! It was a little slow getting into but once I was there, I was hooked!! Twists and turns that I had NO idea were coming! On to her next one!

One of my favorites of hers

Would recommend this one by her!

Good luck.

So lackluster. Quite boring & confusing and just leaves you annoyed at the end.

A Solid 3.5 🌟

This was a fast-paced thriller. It holds your attention as you track down some false leads on the way to the truth. Twists, turns, then closure... it's a great weekend read!

A great read!
