All the Missing Girls, by Megan Miranda, is a book that involves mystery and suspense. It was published in June, 2016 and became a New York Times bestseller.
The main character of the story is named Nic Farrell, a 28-year- old guidance counselor. Her fiance, Everett, works as a successful lawyer. Nic and her fiance live together in a little apartment in the city.
Nic previously lived in a small, country town called Cooley Ridge. She moved away from Cooley Ridge the summer after graduation when she was 18. That same summer before she left, her best friend, Corinne Prescott, mysteriously went missing and was never found. The disappearance was the main reason Nic felt the need to move away to the city, to get away from Cooley Ridge and escape the bad memories.
Nic's brother, Daniel, calls her to tell her that their father has became ill, and asks her to come home to help. Nic reluctantly makes her trip home to Cooley Ridge to help her father in his nursing home and to attempt to sell her childhood home.
Once back in Cooley Ridge, all the memories of her childhood and Corinne that she tried to forget come back to her. She tries to do her job of helping her father and brother, but she can only concentrate on Corinne. Within the first two days of her coming home, another girl named Annaleise Carter went missing.
Nic then goes on a hunt to find Annaleise and piece together clues from her and Corinne's cases. Dirty details of Nic's, her family's, and other people in the town's past is brought to the surface as Nic and the police search for information and Annaleise.
I believe All the Missing Girls is an amazing read for anyone who loves suspenseful mystery novels. The story keeps readers on the edge of their seats in anticipation. This book can be found in the John I. Burton library.
