The Book:
All The Missing Girls by Megan Miranda, 2016
The Characters:
Nic, her brother Daniel, her ex-boyfriend Tyler, her best friend Corinne (the missing girl), and Corinne’s boyfriend Jackson
The Summary (from Goodreads):
It’s been ten years since Nicolette Farrell left her rural hometown after her best friend, Corinne, disappeared from Cooley Ridge without a trace. Back again to tie up loose ends and care for her ailing father, Nic is soon plunged into a shocking drama that reawakens Corinne’s case and breaks open old wounds long since stitched.
The decade-old investigation focused on Nic, her brother Daniel, boyfriend Tyler, and Corinne’s boyfriend Jackson. Since then, only Nic has left Cooley Ridge. Daniel and his wife, Laura, are expecting a baby; Jackson works at the town bar; Tyler is dating Annaleise Carter, Nic’s younger neighbor and the group’s alibi the night Corinne disappeared. Then, within days of Nic’s return, Annaleise goes missing.
Told backward—Day 15 to Day 1—from the time Annaleise goes missing, Nic works to unravel the truth about her younger neighbor’s disappearance, revealing shocking truths about her friends, her family, and what really happened to Corinne that night ten years ago.
The Spoilers:
Nic was the one who had killed Corinne. She jumped in front of her car on the way home from the fair that night. Tyler (Nic’s high school boyfriend) was in the car with Nick when she hit Corinne, and her brother and dad covered it up. Nic broke up with Everett and got together with Tyler. Her sister-in-law Laura killed Annaleise because Annaleise found out about Corinne and tried to blackmail the family.
Well, that stinks. Your spoilers show up in the Google search results, so know I know who did it even though I’m on chapter 2. 🙁
I’m sorry about that, Cheryl! Could you tell me what you googled? I’m not seeing it unless I specifically search for “spoilers” or “ending”. I usually check to make sure that just googling the title won’t spoil anything. That’s why I include the plot first with the spoilers hidden!
