The Last House Guest by Megan Miranda
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is the second book I have read by Megan Miranda (the first was A Perfect Stranger, which I loved). This book flips between Summer 2017 and Summer 2018, with lots of looks into the past. Told from the POV of protagonist Avery Greer, it’s a fast paced read with plenty of twists and turns and a ending I didn’t expect (though in hindsight the clues were there). And Miranda does an admirable job of painting the picture of a seaside tourist town in Maine, the powerful family that “runs it,” and the secrets it, and they, hold. That said, the flipping back and forth was sometimes distracting. Overall a solid read, recommended.

Your recent reviews seem more critical, Judy, which I like. Did you make a conscious decision to do this?
Not really, just trying to be honest about my opinion. But as you know, reading is subjective. One person’s favorite is another person’s most hated.
