Week 23 Review: The Girl from Widow Hills

From Goodreads:
Everyone knows the story of "the girl from Widow Hills."

Arden Maynor was just a child when she was swept away while sleepwalking during a terrifying rainstorm and went missing for days. Strangers and friends, neighbors and rescue workers, set up search parties and held vigils, praying for her safe return. Against all odds, she was found, alive, clinging to a storm drain. The girl from Widow Hills was a living miracle. Arden's mother wrote a book. Fame followed. Fans and fan letters, creeps, and stalkers. And every year, the anniversary. It all became too much. As soon as she was old enough, Arden changed her name and disappeared from the public eye.

Now a young woman living hundreds of miles away, Arden goes by Olivia. She's managed to stay off the radar for the last few years. But with the twentieth anniversary of her rescue approaching, the media will inevitably renew its interest in Arden. Where is she now? Soon Olivia feels like she's being watched and begins sleepwalking again, like she did long ago, even waking outside her home. Until late one night she jolts awake in her yard. At her feet is the corpse of a man she knows—from her previous life, as Arden Maynor.

And now, the girl from Widow Hills is about to become the center of the story, once again, in this propulsive page-turner from suspense master Megan Miranda.

My Review:
I had such a fantastic time reading this book! I've really been getting into Megan Miranda's mysteries this year, and this one sounded really fantastic. Which it was, I loved all the twists and turns of this mystery, it was thrilling to read!

There's two things that may or may not be connected. When she went missing, the Girl from Widow Hills, and the now, where there might be something going on. And I just wanted to know what was going on, and this story kept coming and being so good. 

Olivia does have some difficult emotions for her mom-she profited off of the experience, of what Olivia went through, something that Olivia wanted to move past, and a contributing factor as to why she changed her name. So there's some hard feelings there, which is totally understandable, and then between the anniversary and her mom's death, well, that's a whole can of worms.

This is a Megan Miranda book, so of course the mystery would be more intricate then it seemed. I loved watching all these pieces of evidence coming to life, to find out what was going on. It just kept coming, and I loved watching it play out! 

Loved reading this book and I can't wait to read more by Megan Miranda!
