Abi had a secret life. That’s why she had to die.

Grace is living through every mother’s worst nightmare. Her student daughter Abi went away on a dream vacation - and was murdered.

Overwhelmed by grief, and fighting off old demons which have resurfaced, Grace tries to make sense of it – who would want to kill her beautiful girl?

But as she learns more about Abi’s life, she realises she didn’t know her own daughter very well. How did Abi acquire all those designer clothes? And what was she doing on those mysterious trips to the city?

Grace desperately needs to find answers. But soon it becomes clear that someone doesn’t want her digging into Abi’s secret past. Someone who knows how to use Grace’s own weaknesses against her, sending her on a journey to the darkest hell…

The Arrangement is a gripping psychological thriller that builds to a stunning climax. Perfect for fans of K. L. Slater, Teresa Driscoll, and Andrew Hart.

What readers are saying about The Arrangement:

“This book had me reading well into the early hours. With colourful characters, any number of whom were potential suspects, the actual guilty party was somewhat of a surprise. There were plenty of clues, along with enough red herrings to lead you in several different directions. Fast paced, a great plot and full of suspense until the closing paragraphs, I would highly recommend this novel.” -Netgalley Review

“Murder, lies & secrets! What's not to love?” -Goodreads Review

“I got into the story line from the very first page which is a must for me and it kept me on the edge of my seat throughout. Overall this is a brilliantly addictive page turner which I can highly recommend.” -Netgalley Review

“The Arrangement is a thriller which will have you on the edge of your seat, a mother desperate for the truth who will go to any lengths to find it. Miranda has again written a book that has touched my deepest emotions...I was with her every step of the way and her grief touched me. This is an exceptionally written thriller with well-developed characters and a plot that was so believable.” -Goodreads Review

“…does not disappoint with many twists and turns and really did keep me guessing right to the very end!” -Goodreads Review

"The Arrangement is a psychological thriller/mystery which leaves the reader gasping in shock..." -Biblio Pheonix

"Wow! This thriller was utterly addictive and completely absorbing and one more chapter very quickly turned into finishing the book as quickly as I could." -Herding Cats Book Blog

"This was a fantastic mix of suspense, heartbreak and mystery and there is something in there for everyone. I could hardly put the book down..." -Ally’s Reading Corner

I think this is the first I read by this author but I can promise I'm going to read more of her books. This was a day read. Didn't care for many of the characters but there were a few with redeeming qualities. If you like psychological thrillers check this one out. Some good twists and a good ending. Definitely recommend.

I read this book in one day! That's how good it is! A woman's college age. daughter is killed in a trip to South Africa. At first it looks like an opportunistic killing. Some is arrested for the murder. The mother died not agree that this was an opportunistic murder. The book is about how a mother gets justice for her daughter. Twists and turns galore! You are going to love it!

The story was suspenseful. However, the author needs to hire a better editor as there are several mistakes. This is a quick read and good for passing the time on a plane or train trip.

4.0 out of 5 stars Gripping psychological thriller
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2021

“The Arrangement “ is a real page turner. The first few pages were eerie. Abi,a college student on vacation in South Africa is lured by someone she knows and brutally murdered.

Abi’s murder is pinned to a random crime and the case is closed. Her mother Grace refuses to accept this and decides to investigate further. As she digs deeper things begin to unravel and she discovers that her daughter is living a double life. Grace’s own life spirals out of control

The book is really well written. You can feel Grace’s pain - her numbing herself with alcohol, her despair and desperate need to find answers.

This book is easy to read, entertaining, suspenful, intriguing and impossible to stop reading to disclose the truth. Before reading the arrangement I read a thriller with so many ups and downs, rights and wrongs that I totally lose interest and notion of what the book was about. So reading The arrangement was a refreshing experience.

The Arrangement was actually a pretty good book. There were no boring places...the action of the plot moved swiftly and although I sometimes wondered why certain people met up with others in a staged way it all made the rest of the story work. I recommend them book. It is well written with a complex main character.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting read
Reviewed in Spain on January 6, 2021
Verified Purchase
This proved to be quite an interesting read, well written for the most part. The plot twist is foreseeable from around the middle of the book, and so no big surprise, but the mystery is still enough to keep you turning the pages.

SPOILERS
I wasn't too keen on the technique of the main character constantly asking herself questions and found it tedious after a while.
Also, the physical description of the fight near the end read more like a set of script instructions, and felt a little overdone. I find it boring when writers describe a physical altercation with every detail of every movement.

All in all I would recommend the book and I would give the author another go. Any criticism is intended to be constructive.
