The Last House Guest

by Megan Miranda 

Avery Greer is a Littleport resident who lost her parents and living with her grandma. Sadie Loman was a visitor who was the daughter of a rich family who owns many beach houses and properties in Littleport.
Typically, friendships never develop between a local and a summer girl, but Avery and Sadie were inseparable until Sadie is found dead. Initially, death ruled as a suicide but Sadie thinks otherwise.

The whole story is POV Sadie’s and jumps back and forth between two summers.
I like Megan's writing style and the plot‘s twist and turns happen throughout the story and I could not foresee the big plot twist that happened at the end of the story. Definitely, the story has a mystery element but not so much thriller.
Initially, I was drawn to the description and cover and thought I this would be a great thriller story with flying colors.


But unfortunately, this story is just ok. At one point I found myself a bit bored and skimmed a lot of phases. Most of the action happens in the last quarter of the book and the rest of the story was meh.

Overall, I still think this is a good mystery book but it did not hit the mark for 5 stars.
