Megan Miranda

Megan Miranda is an American writer of psychological suspense. She studied biology at MIT and worked in biotechnology and as a high school science teacher before publishing her first novel, the young-adult thriller Fracture, in 2012. She has since written mainly for adults.

All the Missing Girls, her first adult novel, unfolds in reverse chronological order, counting backwards through the fifteen days after a young woman vanishes from the narrator's rural hometown; it and The Last House Guest were both New York Times bestsellers and Reese's Book Club picks.

Her later thrillers include The Girl from Widow Hills, Such a Quiet Place, The Last to Vanish, The Only Survivors and Daughter of Mine. She grew up in New Jersey and lives in North Carolina.
