THE LAST HOUSE GUEST

From the New York Times bestselling author of All the Missing Girls and The Perfect Stranger comes a suspenseful new novel about a seaside town in Maine dealing with the suspicious death of a young woman and her best friend, who is trying to uncover the truth about the death while living under a cloud of grief and suspicion.

Littleport, Maine is both an ideal vacation town 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, friendships never develop between a local and a summer girl - but that's just what happens with visitor Avery Greer and Littleport resident Sadie Loman. 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 who blame her, including a local detective and Sadie's brother, Parker. Someone knows more than they're saying, and Avery is intent on clearing her name, before the facts get twisted against her.

Megan Miranda's The House Guest is a smart novel of psychological suspense with unexpected twists and surprises along the way.
