lizziaha's review against another edition
3.0
Oddly enough, this was one of the (technically) best-written thrillers that I’ve read. And the book didn’t even feature any wildly problematic comments or inclusions, which seems to be prerequisite to the genre. So as much as I wanted to like it, I just thought it was boring. (One of the plot twists did have me gagged though—you ate that one little thing)

The book was okay. The "character development" was more revealed about the character. There were many unanswered questions about Georgia at the end, even though the disappearances were mostly wrapped in a neat little bow, which felt underwhelming. The narration was good though.

Thanks for the ARC Netgalley! This thriller is released July 26th and will be a hit for fall readers.
Cutter’s Pass North Carolina is a remote town famous for its beautiful hiking - and for several disappearances over decades. Abby came to the town after the death of her mother, seeking a new community. She has been managing the inn and witnessed the local flurry amidst a journalist’s disappearance. Months later, the journalist’s brother has come to town digging up fresh evidence and questions. Abby thought she was seen as a local, but she discovers she is still an outsider and that the people she thought she knew are keeping secrets from her.
This is a slow burn thriller, layered with the various disappearances spanning decades. It’s very atmospheric- Miranda creates a vivid picture of this isolated town and trails. I was intrigued how everything would unfold and definitely was surprised by a few twists. But I don’t think it will be memorable for me due to the pace. I loved Miranda’s “All the Missing Girls” but felt “The Last House Guest” was just okay. This thriller falls in the middle of the pack for me.
