REVIEW FROM BOOKS FOR HER:

Littleport, Maine is a summer vacation town – where Avery Greer lives and works year-round and Sadi Loman visits her wealthy family’s summer home. The two girls grow up together – becoming inseparable each summer that Sadi comes to stay in Littleport. And Avery becomes part of the Loman family, even working for them.

A little more straight forward than the reverse-plot of Miranda’s first thriller (which was a definitely 4+ stars), The Last House Guest is still cleverly written with an intricate plot. The small town of Littleport with its contrasting culture of locals vs summer visitors further confuses the plot – keep you guessing until the end.
