The Perfect Stranger

Gripping and atmospheric, this novel defies expectation at every turn and confirms Megan Miranda’s reputation as one of the most exciting new voices in psychological suspense.

Leah Stevens is in desperate need of a fresh start. Once a star reporter, she’s lost her job at a Boston paper and damaged her professional reputation beyond repair.  But salvation arrives when she is unexpectedly reunited with her old roommate, Emmy Grey, the one friend who was always willing to protect and defend her.

Together they relocate to a small town where no one knows about the mistakes Leah has left behind. But an auspicious beginning goes terribly wrong when a woman turns up near dead close to their home, and Emmy goes inexplicably missing.  Unable to find any trace of Emmy, the police begin to question Leah’s credibility—and her possible role in the crime.  Worried for the girl who saved her in her darkest moment, Leah falls back on her investigative skills to track Emmy down—the one person who can clear her name before it’s too late.
