All the Missing Girls (Miranda)

Book 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.
New York Times


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


Looking for the next Gone Girl? All the Missing Girls is heir apparent…a book that you can't help but whip through, and Miranda is a master of leaving just enough tantalizing clues to keep you from pausing between chapters. Particularly as you get toward the end and realize the role that Nic and her brother may have played in the disappearances of both young women—and how sometimes accidents and malevolent intent collide—it becomes increasingly difficult to tear your eyes from the page.

(Starred review.) [A] fiendishly plotted thriller.... Miranda convincingly conjures a haunted setting..., 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.) [A] carefully crafted and riveting thriller that is narrated in reverse chronological order, a tense and unusual reading experience that both disorients and intrigues. Readers will obsessively read backward day by day to uncover gradually the surprise ending. —Mary Todd Chesnut, Northern Kentucky Univ. Lib., Highland Heights
Library Journal


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


Miranda's thriller, told backward over a two-week period.... The chronology is frustrating, the characters are bland, and the plotting is sloppy. Feel free to give these missing girls a miss.
