Megan Miranda – The Girl From Widow Hills

‘The Girl From Widow Hills’ by Megan Miranda is an intriguing thriller. Olivia Meyer is a young woman who is living as quiet a life as possible, because, that’s how she likes it. The reason being that almost 20 years ago she was infamous for being missing for three days and being found alive down a storm drain.

From that her mum wrote a book and made her so well known that she disappeared and changed her name from Arden Mayner as soon as she was old enough. Then almost at the 20th anniversary of the lost girl from Widows Hill as she was known. Olivia receives a box of her dead mothers stuff. Her sleepwalking begins again and on the second night, she is woken by a phone ringing and finds a body at her feet. Her neighbour helps her and they phone the police, the body is Olivia’s rescuer when she was six, Sean Coleman! The question is why was he there? What did he want?
The story is written in a dual timeline, returning to the past in between the chapters, giving us insight into what happened 20 years ago and show us why Olivia is as she is now.

I certainly enjoyed the well-paced story that came to a satisfying, shocking conclusion. An absolutely creepy, tense thriller that will have you sleeping with one eye open after finishing this book.
Thanks to Random Tours and Corvus Books for the copy of the book for me to give my review for this blog tour.
