Reviews

"No one writes a thriller like [Megan] Miranda." —US WEEKLY
 

“Absorbing… Miranda skillfully shows how the past has a hold on Beckett [and] family dynamics compellingly stir the plot. You Belong Here delivers elevated suspense.” —Shelf Awareness

“Megan Miranda once again proves her mastery of suspense with You Belong Here. In this atmospheric and emotionally charged novel… Miranda weaves past and present with quiet precision, digging into the murky terrain of memory, guilt and identity. The result is a haunting character study disguised as a mystery, one that lingers long after the final page.” Seattle Times

“[A] supercharged atmospheric novel… The question of whether Beckett is an unreliable narrator ratchets up the tension considerably. A terrific read.” —Booklist (starred)
