Hollow's Edge is a close-knit neighborhood that has survived a tragedy. It has been more than a year ago since Fiona and Brandon Truett were found dead in their home. And Harper Nash's roommate, Ruby Fletcher, was convicted of the crime. In the fourteen months since then the neighborhood has enacted measures to make sure that they will always be safe. But now Ruby Fletcher has been released from jail on a technicality and is back at Harper's. The entire neighborhood is in an uproar and people are questioning everything they knew about the Truett's death. But when another body turns up in Hollow's Edge its residents realize that they were never really safe. Will they find out the truth or will the body count keep rising?
Having just finished another novel about a "close-knit" neighborhood, I wasn't really expecting much with Such A Quiet Place. However, I really did enjoy it. Having the convicted murderer return to the neighborhood was an interesting take. Everybody was so uncomfortable with her being there, especially Harper. I don't understand why Harper didn't just tell her to get out, but she lived in the uncomfortable environment for far longer than I would have done. I didn't really have any guesses at who really did "it" - the second "it," not the first "it." So I was a little surprised by that revelation. CLICK HERE FOR SPOILERS.
Bottom Line - Such A Quiet Place was another fast-paced novel that I finished in a matter of days. While originality seems to be scarce these days, I did like that Megan Miranda could put a new twist on the story.
