"Confronted by a restraining order and the threat of a lawsuit failed journalist Leah Stevens needs to get out of Boston when she runs into an old friend, Emmy Grey, who has just left a troubled relationship. Emmy proposes they move to rural Pennsylvania, where Leah can get a teaching position and both women can start again. But their new start is threatened when a woman with an eerie resemblance to Leah is assaulted by the lake, and Emmy disappears days later.
Determined to find Emmy, Leah cooperates with Kyle Donovan a handsome young police officer on the case. As they investigate her friend's life for clues, Leah begins to wonder: did she ever really know Emmy at all? With no friends, family, or a digital footprint, the police begin to suspect that there is no Emmy Grey. Soon Leah's credibility is at stake, and she is forced to revisit her past: the article that ruined her career. To save herself, Leah must uncover the truth about Emmy Grey- and along the way, confront her old demons, find out who she can really trust, and clear her own name.
Everyone in this rural Pennsylvanian town has something to hide- including Leah herself. How do you uncover the truth when you are busy hiding your own?"
My Rating: 2.75/5
This book just isn't what I hoped it would be. I liked the mystery, but it felt a little bit like Gone Girl for me. I think that our main character was a little slow on the uptake. I was so confused why she just kept touching everyone's stuff. That was something that really bothered me. I also found that I had figured out where Emmy had done far before the book was over. I will read more by Megan Miranda because I felt her atmosphere was spooky enough for me to be interested in a different plotline.
Thanks for reading,
Sidny
