I loved this book, such smart writing, dropping clues in layers. many heart stopping phrases, poetry and philosophy with a turn of a phrase. loved the heroine, loved that i didn't get it until just about when she did, and loved the internal journey that came with the storyline

Colored me impressed by this writing. For such a complex plot and extensive character list, Miranda nailed it. I appreciate the format of the book and the attention to detail of the different perspectives. The setting was interesting and I enjoyed mentally investigating all the avenues of “who done it.” Miranda is VERY good at what she does; all thriller authors should take note.

Wowzer!! Megan Miranda absolutely never disappoints!! The Last House Guest is an epic mystery/thriller that I literally didn’t put down until I had read the entire novel!!! The storyline was brilliantly spun to have me creating several conspiracy theories that all proved wrong lol!! Megan Miranda has true gift in masterfully writing novels that have you in awe afterwards- so well thought out!!! I’ve read all of Megan Miranda’s thrillers and every time I think there is no way she can top herself, but low and behold she does EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. The Last Guest House is a 5+++ star novel that needs to be on everyone’s summer reading list!!!

The Last House Guest was great. It was gripping and intense. I was hooked from the first page. It had just enough suspense that I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. I would recommend this book.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own

Megan Miranda does it again! In THE LAST HOUSE GUEST, Miranda gives us compelling characters and a really good plot. Miranda set the novel in Littleport, Maine and beautifully describes the Maine coast. But she focuses her attention on the human relationships between Avery, a young woman who grew up in Littleport and the Lomans, the family that summered there and took her under their wing. But when Sadie Loman, one of Avery's best friends, dies, Avery begins to question everything she thought she knew about the Lomans. As F. Scott Fitzgerald famously quoted, "Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me." Great read.

This was my first Megan Miranda book, but I’m
glad I own them all, because soon I will be binge reading hers. It starts out with a grip on you and doesn’t release until the end. Chilling, thrilling, and enough drama to give you some breaks from the intensity of the story. Definitely a book that all suspense/thriller lovers must read. You will not discover the truth, until Miranda guides you to it!
I will be reviewing, using in a challenge, and chatting it up in Chapter Chatter Pub’

book synopsis

Littleport, Maine is like two separate towns: a vacation paradise for wealthy holidaymakers and a simple harbour community for the residents who serve them. Friendships between locals and visitors are unheard of - but that's just what happened with Avery Greer and Sadie Loman.


Each summer for a decade the girls are inseparable - until Sadie is found dead. When the police rule the death a suicide, Avery can't help but feel there are those in the community, including a local detective and Sadie's brother Parker, who blame her. Someone known more than they're saying, and Avery is intent on clearing her name before the facts get twisted against her.

My thoughts
rating : 5
Would I recommend this book : yes
Will I read any thing else by this author: yes
In fact I have read both of her books All The Missing Girls & The Perfect Stranger and loved them , so as soon as I saw she had this one coming out I had to request it. All of her stories take place in a small town where it seems everybody knows everybody's business ,but can still keep secrets no matter how dark they are. As your reading the story your finding out what happened and why , it keeps you guessing and asking questions like was Sadie's death a suicide ,or murder and if it was suicide why did she do , or who killed her and why, or did Avery have something to do with or does she know more then she's telling people . It also keeps you guessing on who can she truest and can she clear her name . Just like All The Missing Girls and The Perfect Stranger the story is interesting and well writing , and slow burning which is good because it keeps you pulled in to the story to the ever last page , So to find out more you have to read the book . With that said I want to thank Netgalley and Simon & Schuster for letting me read and review it exchange for my honest opinion.
