It doesn't happen often that I start reading a book and immediately wish I could put my life on hold to finish it up in one big gulp. Unfortunately, as a working Mom I had to read this amazing thriller in drips and drabs-sneaking my kindle into the bathroom with me, hiding from my toddler and husband. Ms. Miranda has written a gem. A first rate thriller and not so much because of the who-done-it twists and turns, or the grand character development, but because this book is told backwards. Yes, even with all the hype and the note from the publisher at the beginning I was really questioning how this could work, how I could enjoy a book that you have to work so hard to tell what happened when. But, Ms. Miranda makes it seem like everyone should write this way. I'm not going to even bother discussing the plot, don't want to ruin it for you future reader. Do yourself a favor, pick this up and jump on the Missing Girls bandwagon early, you won't want to miss this one.
Thank you netgalley and Simon & Schuster for this galley in exchange for an honest review.
