ABOUT THIS BOOK 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? MY REVIEW I don't know where I have been hibernating but I had never heard or read anything by Megan Miranda before I picked up THE PERFECT STRANGER but after finishing this twisted, compelling, and absolutely spine-tingling thriller, I am definitely going on a shopping spree for Megan Miranda's back catalogue. Leah Stevens briefly lived with Emmy Grey eight years ago when she was straight out of university and always admired Emmy and her free-spirited and protective ways. So when Leah's life has taken a sudden downturn and she desperately needs to escape, bumping into Emmy again seems serendipitous. Carried along with Emmy, Leah soon finds herself living in rural Pennsylvania working as a teacher instead of a journalist, and hoping that this place will help her heal from everything that has happened to her. But when Emmy suddenly disappears, and a woman who looks very like Leah is viciously attacked, Leah is suddenly thrust back into the limelight that she wants to leave behind. But you cannot take the journalist out of the girl and it isn't long before Leah is building up her own group of suspects but who can she really trust? Gripping, compelling, and at times truly shocking, THE PERFECT STRANGER by Megan Miranda is the psychological thriller that I never knew I needed. Leah is a great character as she is clever, determined, and a bit of an enigma herself and I thoroughly enjoyed being led down this mysterious path to the truth that made my jaw drop. There is tension, an aura of danger, fear, doubt, and mystery laced among every page while simultaneously showing a thread of hope in uncovering the truth. I thoroughly enjoyed THE PERFECT STRANGER by Megan Miranda and I cannot wait to read more from this fabulous author.
