The Perfect Stranger: A Novel - Hardcover

Praise for THE PERFECT STRANGER

"Miranda's eerie suspense thriller...smartly examines the slippery theme of personal identity. In a world where identities are regularly lost, stolen or sacrificed for reasons innocent and otherwise, it's not enough to wonder where Emmy has gone. We need to know who she is, if she is who she says she is--and if she exists at all."
--New York Times Book Review

"Fans of Gillian Flynn, Chevy Stevens, and Jennifer McMahon will devour this relentlessly paced and deftly plotted thriller... The story moves at a feverish, unfaltering pace, keeping readers just as perplexed as the characters."
--Publishers Weekly

"YA author Miranda, who moved into the adult market with All the Missing Girls, proves she isn't a one-hit wonder with this exciting thriller. Its twisty tale with many layers--a little romance, great writing, and an awesome story line--will keep psychological suspense fans turning the pages."
--Library Journal

"Solid plot... An entertaining read."
--Kirkus Reviews

"An excellent second novel of psychological suspense...Highly recommended for fans of Alafair Burke, Gillian Flynn, and Lisa Lutz, and for all readers who like their female characters clever and resourceful, even when their best friends become their worst nightmares."
--Booklist

"Fans of Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train will blow through this new thriller."
--PureWow

"Megan Miranda does a terrific job in this book of creating and maintaining an atmosphere of menace and uncertainty. She skillfully drip-feeds the truth about Leah's situation, hinting at what she's running from and slowly fitting the pieces of the puzzle together - although it's not until well into the story that we finally discover the nature of the terrifying events that set her on the path she's now travelling."
--All About Romance

"The distinct and well-defined characters add to the suspense, complete with twists and turns, and will make the reader wonder."
--New York Journal of Books

"Fans of Miranda's may rejoice, and those that haven't read her work will have to start now. This riveting psychological thriller may leave you jumping at strange noises and sleeping with the lights burning, but oh, it will be worth it!...The plot here is taut and original, but the success of the story hinges on character."
--Seattle Book Mania
