The Only Survivors by Megan Miranda
4.0

Thanks to S&S Book Club Favorites for the copy of this ARC!

The Only Survivors is a really great locked room mystery told from multiple points of view in with dual timelines. In the past timeline, our group of characters are part of a group of high school seniors on a service trip that crash into a ravine. They are the only survivors. Each year, they get together to commemorate that night… Or to keep an eye on each other. This year, things get weird and tension grows until we find out which character has been speaking a little too freely outside the group. I really enjoyed this book with the red herrings, clues dropped, and the multiple twists. I loved how the timeline went back and forth to make the story fall in line. This is definitely a great book for a vacation read!

Read if you:
- like a group connected by an event in the past
- enjoy locked-room mysteries
- vacation in the Outer Banks
- ruminate over who you’d save if your car started sinking in water
