    The Perfect Stranger

    About this audiobook

    From the author of the New York Times bestseller All the Missing Girls—the gripping story of a journalist who sets out to find her missing friend, a friend who may never have existed at all. “Think: Luckiest Girl Alive, The Girl on the Train, Gone Girl” (TheSkimm).

    When Leah Stevens’ career implodes, a chance meeting with her old friend Emmy Grey offers her the perfect opportunity to start over. Emmy, just out of a bad relationship, convinces Leah to come live with her in rural Pennsylvania, where there are teaching positions available and no one knows Leah’s past.

    Or Emmy’s.

    When the town sees a spate of vicious crimes and Emmy Grey disappears, Leah begins to realize how very little she knows about her friend and roommate. Unable to find friends, family, a paper trail or a digital footprint, the police question whether Emmy Grey existed at all. And mark Leah as a prime suspect.

    Fighting the doubts of the police and her own sanity, 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.

    Megan Miranda delivers a deep, dark and twisty novel just as thrilling as her New York Times bestseller All the Missing Girls.

      It was a great easy read. The ending wasn’t exactly a huge twist but enjoyable nonetheless.

      I really liked this! At first I was not sure I would because there are some similarities to Fight Club but I knew it would take getting to the end to see for sure if I loved it or was unimpressed. Very well written, all of the ends might not have tied up in the end but the author does it in such a way that it's believable and not a stretch. There were a few things that could have been fleshed out a bit more but she left them to the reader. I will definitely be reading/listening to more from this author.

      Probably more like a very jaded 3.5 star.

      I think had I read this right after something like Romanceathon I would have loved it. However a pretty good mystery after a few really great thrillers wasn’t to its benefit.

      However, I loved the characters and the plot. I would recommend it and I will continue reading her writing.
    • 5/5
      Brilliant. Brilliant. Just brilliant........... Highly recommendable for the well-written plot

      Great book but it felt like it went on and on
    • 4/5
      So many twists, multi-faceted, but classic thriller storyline. Well-written and interesting!
    • 5/5
      Don’t start this until you have time to finish! Tensions are high throughout and characters that keep you guessing. One of the better mysteries I’ve read in the year.
    • 2/5
      lost interest 1/2 way through. made myself listen to the end
    • 4/5
      Should have ended with the police knowing truth also. Didn't like ending.
    • 4/5
      This was pretty good. I was never sure where the story would go next.
    • 3/5
      The ending was very anticlimactic. Was kind of slow to get into as well but I was def disappointed in the ending
    • 5/5
      Again another great book full of suspenseful mystery. I could see this as a movie for sure!
    • 5/5
      A good riveting mystery. I couldn't stop listening to find out who set each other up. Recommended read
    • 4/5
      This was a good listen. Nothing overly exciting about it. But good.

    • 4/5
      Easy to follow, interesting story and characters. I enjoyed the narrator.
    • 4/5
      It was a great book, but she leaves I've question unanswered.
    • 1/5
      This book to me just was boring overall boring. I felt like Leah did not have any back bone but she felt like she did. It was just confusing I couldn’t get into the writing or the audio.
    • 4/5
      When you just want a fresh start and this may be worse. Her long long friend who gave her a place to live after losing everything. They decide to move to a place that's the opposite of Boston.

Can she have an affair with the detective, keep her life and do all this before she's the next body found. Miranda tells stories that get you immersed and woven into these people's lives you whit knuckle it til the end.
    • 4/5
      This book is so incredibly slow. It took me forever to really just want to listen. I usually finish a book within a day or two. Not this one. It took weeks. Not great.
    • 3/5
      Very hard to follow and im still not sure exactly what happened with all the story lines even after going back and trying to relisten.
    • 5/5
      I can’t say enough good things about Megan Miranda. I loved this one
    • 1/5
      So bad. Terrible narration and even worse writing. Save your time.
    • 4/5
      3.5 stars. Maybe the storylines in Megan Miranda's books aren't very exciting or unique , but her storytelling keeps you sucked in until the very end .
    • 2/5
      Drags on quite a bit. The main character rambles through and a lot of it seems like filler. I also got annoyed with how easily the police give her information about an open investigation and how her and Kyle had a ridiculous back and forth. It seemed like almost the same conversation every time they interacted. I love usually this author, but this is a definite pass for me.
    • 3/5
      I was very confused. The back and forth didn’t flow well.
    • 4/5
      Slow start to this one but kept my interest and turned out good!
