You'll need to be; this thriller will test your brain with its reverse chronological structure, and it's a page-turner to boot.<br /> <b><i>ELLE</i></b><br /> <br /> Intricately plottedMs. Miranda brings heightened suspense and a twist to this familiar scenario by telling the story, which unfolds over 15 days, in reverse chronological order.<br /> <b><i>The</i><i>New York Times</i></b><br /> <br /> Fast-paced and frightening,<i>All the Missing Girls</i>will teach you why it's dangerous to go into the woods alone at night.<br /> <b> <i>Refinery29</i></b><br /> <br /> <i>All the Missing Girls</i>is the archetypal murder mystery, the kind it seems like everyone has been hungry for since Gillian Flynn's<i>Gone Girl</i>and Paula Hawkins's<i>Girl on a Train</i>.<br /> <b> <i>Cosmopolitan.com</i></b><br /> <br /> A new spin on a classic "missing person" thriller,<i>All the Missing Girls</i>is the perfect read for thriller fans.<br /> <b> <i>Bustle.com</i></b><br /> <br /> "In<i>All the Missing Girls</i>Megan Miranda leads readers back through the past of a small southern town, enfolding them in a slow, tense nightmare of suspicion, menace, and tangled motives. A twisty, compulsive read--I loved it."<br /> <b>Ruth Ware, author of IN A DARK, DARK WOOD</b><br /> <br /> "Fiendishly plotted...Miranda convincingly conjures a haunted setting that serves as a character in its own right, 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."<br /> <b><i>Publishers Weekly</i>, starred review</b><br /> <br /> "As original as it is addictive, this story puts a knot in your gut from the opening pages. Then, through the wizardry of its unconventional structure, that knot tightens and tightens and will not let go until the final pagesand even then the story continues to haunt you. Vividly rendered, psychologically complex, and narratively acrobatic,<i>All The Missing Girls</i>is, above all, totally gripping."<br /> <b>Tim Johnston,<i>New York Times</i>bestselling author of DESCENT</b><br /> <br /> "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."<br /> <b><i>Booklist</i></b><br /> <br /> "<i>All the Missing Girls</i>is a smart, suspenseful, and emotionally complex thriller. Told in reverse, this story will make you want to lock the doors, turn off the phone, and read until the last satisfying page."<br /> <b>Alafair Burke,<i>New York Times</i>bestselling author of THE EX</b><br /> <br /> "Megan Mirandas utterly gripping and original<i>All the Missing Girls</i>keeps you off balance in the most perfect way. I was held hostage by the book from the first page to the stunning conclusion. This literally backward tale is a winner."<br /> <b>Lisa Lutz, author of THE PASSENGER and HOW TO START A FIRE</b>
