From the New York Times bestselling author of The Last House Guest, a Reese's Book Club pick. We had no warning that she would come back... Welcome to Hollow's Edge - a picture-perfect neighbourhood where everyone has each other's backs. At least, that's how it used to be, until the night Brandon and Fiona Truett were found dead... Two years ago, branded a grifter, thief and sociopath by her friends and neighbours, Ruby Fletcher was convicted of murdering the Truetts. Now, freed by mistrial, Ruby has returned to Hollow's Edge. But why would she come back? No one wants her there, least of all her old housemate, Harper Nash. As Ruby's return sends shockwaves through the community, terrified residents turn on each other, and it soon becomes clear that not everyone was honest about the night the Truetts died. When Harper begins to receive threatening, anonymous notes, she realizes she has to uncover the truth before someone else gets hurt... Someone like her.

Ruby Fletcher was incarcerated over 14 months ago for the murders of Brandon and Fiona Truett, after the rural and tight-knit community of Hollow's Edge came together with the evidence to convict her.
So why would she choose to come straight back to Lake Hollow after her conviction was overturned, and what secrets has she been holding onto all this time?
Miranda is the queen of the slow reveal, and I was not disappointed in my expectation of layered surprises and multiple "Aha!" moments.
Once again, she layed out a brilliantly three dimensional cast of characters each of whom I couldn't help loving, hating and suspecting alternately.
I loved the small-neighborhood intimate setting of Such a Quiet Place and the fantastic irony that something so terrible can only happen somewhere as safe and insulated as Hollow's Edge, where people trust each other and nothing much ever happens.
Surface level relationships and the desire to fit in and look good always lead to white lies and open secrets. Harper and Ruby's story is just an overflow of that truth.
Harper's character drove me up a wall, because she was too real. Not the strong, determined heroine we want her to be, but a reflection of ourselves - a little unsure, a little scared, desperate to make the right choice, but too easily influenced and won over. She
made so many choices that made me want to shake her, but also resonated as the choice I might make were I in her shoes. Never fully open, never fully confident. Frustrating, but realistic.
I truly enjoyed this story, and rate it with The Girl From Widow Hills, which I loved last year. The sense of place and culture were spot on, and the intrigue kept me guessing all the way through. I flew through this book and would recommend it to thriller and mystery readers wholeheartedly. I look forward to many more stories from Megan Miranda!
