You Belong Here
Megan Miranda
Beckett Bowery never expected to return to Wyatt Valley, the beautiful mountain town where her parents are professors at a small college. Decades earlier, Beckett’s college best friend disappeared after setting a fire that killed two locals and everyone thought Beckett knew more than she let on. When Beckett’s daughter Delilah decides to go to the same college, Beckett is on edge, knowing the town’s memory lasts a very long time.
Megan Miranda returns with another moody atmospheric thriller that didn’t have quite the punch of her other works. As usual, Miranda’s writing is excellent and paints a terrific setting. Unfortunately, the characters in You Belong Here failed to draw me into this slow burn mystery. Although it wasn’t that bad, I just didn’t love the story as much as her previous works and didn’t find her newest release that memorable.
