Description

**A Reese Witherspoon x Hello Sunshine Book Club Pick and New York Times bestseller**

A year after a summer guest dies under suspicious circumstances, her best friend lives under a cloud of grief and suspicion in this “fast-paced and gripping” (People) thriller filled with “dizzying plot twists and multiple surprise endings” (The New York Times Book Review).

Littleport, Maine, has always felt like two separate towns: an ideal vacation enclave for the wealthy, whose summer homes line the coastline; and a simple harbor community for the year-round residents whose livelihoods rely on service to the visitors.

Typically, fierce friendships never develop between a local and a summer girl—but that’s just what happens with visitor Sadie Loman and Littleport resident Avery Greer. Each summer for almost a decade, the girls are inseparable—until Sadie is found dead. While the police rule the death a suicide, Avery can’t help but feel there are those in the community, including a local detective and Sadie’s brother, Parker, who blame her. Someone knows more than they’re saying, and Avery is intent on clearing her name, before the facts get twisted against her.

“A riveting read…from master of suspense, Megan Miranda,” (Mary Kubica, New York Times bestselling author of The Good Girl) The Last House Guest is a clever, twisty mystery that brilliantly explores the elusive nature of memory and the complexities of female friendships.

    I didn’t want to give up on this book because that’s not my style…but man…she made it so hard. The book seemed to take forever to get into and the ending wasn’t that great…super short and predictable. I have never written a negative review…so I feel bad critiquing someone else’s art. However…it just seemed like it was fast forwarded with a background story as a paragraph or two at the end. It a fan 😩

    I only finished the book because I purchased it. It was slow and boring. It doesn’t get good until the last few chapters. It’s not a “page turner” and the “plot twist” is not something to keep reading for.
  • A real page turner!

    Very slow and when it finally actually begins to get interesting it is too late. I read it all hoping it would get better but it really didn’t. This is my only review ever (for anything) but I am hoping that someone else will find this useful and not purchase this book
  • Too much back and forth…
