Join Miranda at the Jesup Memorial Library on Thursday, June 20 at 7 p.m. for an author talk and book signing. “The Last House Guest” is a smart, twisty read with a strong female protagonist determined to make her own way in the world.
 
Littleport, where “The Last Guest House” is set, is a town divided between wealthy summer visitors and year-round residents who rely on these visitors to make a living. Friendships between locals and summer residents usually do not happen, however, visitor Sadie Loman and Littleport resident Avery Greer become fast friends, and the girls are inseparable for more than a decade— until Sadie is found dead on the night of the town’s end-of-summer party. While the police rule the death a suicide, Avery feels like some people in the community blame her and she knows someone knows more than they are saying.
