Megan Miranda's psychological suspense books undoubtedly have the most beautiful covers! Last year, when I read All the Missing Girls, I was one of the many readers who were blown away by the plot which was revealed in reverse. The Perfect Stranger, on the other hand, employs a traditional method of story-telling. The story is told from Leah's point of view, a former failed journalist who left Boston for a fresh start in a rural Pennsylvanian town where she moved with her friend Emmy and got a job as a teacher. As a journalist, she published an article in which she accused indirectly a friend's husband of murdering female students at the local university and making it look like they had committed suicide. Following that, the perpetrator took his life and Emmy was forced out of the newspaper she was writing for. 
 However, the fresh start she was looking for in this rural Pennsylvanian town is far from being perfect. A woman resembling Leah is assaulted by the lake, she is harassed by someone who she thinks is a colleague from work and her housemate disappears. Once the police starts investigating Emmy's disappearance, it seems that she hasn't even existed and Leah is therefore suspected of lying. 
 Although I didn't enjoy The Perfect Stranger as much as All the Missing Girls, I believe it deserves more than just 3 stars. The setting was eerie and compelling. All the characters were unreliable and troubled and they reminded me, to a certain degree, of those in All the Missing Girls. All in all, I think that this novel is worth reading and I'm certainly looking forward to reading Megan Miranda's next releases.
