We had no warning that she'd come back. Hollow's Edge used to be a quiet place. A private and idyllic neighborhood where neighbors dropped in on neighbors, celebrated graduation and holiday parties together, and looked out for one another. But then came the murder of Brandon and Fiona Truett. A year and a half later, Hollow's Edge is simmering. The residents are trapped, unable to sell their homes, confronted daily by the empty Truett house, and suffocated by their trial testimonies that implicated one of their own. Ruby Fletcher. And now, Ruby's back. With her conviction overturned, Ruby waltzes right back to Hollow's Edge, and into the home she once shared with Harper Nash. Harper, five years older, has always treated Ruby like a wayward younger sister. But now she's terrified. What possible good could come of Ruby returning to the scene of the crime? And how can she possibly turn her away, when she knows Ruby has nowhere to go? Within days, suspicion spreads like a virus across Hollow's Edge. It's increasingly clear that not everyone told the truth about the night of the Truett's murders. And when Harper begins receiving threatening notes, she realizes she has to uncover the truth before someone else becomes the killer's next victim. Pulsating with suspense and with the shocking twists that are Megan Miranda's trademark, Such a Quiet Place is Megan Miranda's best novel yet--a twisty locked-box thriller that will keep you turning pages late into the night.… (más)

Such a Quiet Place is a thriller by Megan Miranda. It's set in a private neighbourhood with an active homeowner's association, a beautiful lake view, and friendly residents. Harper Nash has lived there for years, and commutes to her job across the lake at the community college. All was well unti Harper's neighbours are murdered by Ruby, Harper's friend and roommate. It is a shock when, 14 months after her conviction, Ruby is released, the charges dropped, and Ruby moves back in with Harper, much against her wishes. The neighbourhood turns into a place of tension and suspicion. Has Ruby been wrongly released? Was she innocent all along? Or is she still a threat, and one now living in their neighbouhood again.

I didn't like this book especially. I found that having Harper narrate the entire novel was tiring. I longed to see other people's views. I longed for Harper to stop jumping from theory to theory and becoming increasingly paranoid. The book had all the elements needed for a good thriller, but in this case the elements didn't coalesce, and the book didn't work. ( )

A "nothing special" thriller that still got the job done.

When Ruby is suddenly exonerated for the murders of two neighbors, and subsequently released, she returns to the idyllic private neighborhood Hollow's Edge. She moves back in with Harper like nothing ever happened. Harper isn't sure what to believe about Ruby's innocence, and the neighborhood is abuzz with gossip and distrust as everyone's lives begin to unravel.

At about the halfway point, there's a plot development I truly didn't see coming, and I liked the way things wrapped up. I wasn't totally invested in the story or characters, so this won't end up on my "favorite thrillers" shelf. ( )

While this captured my interest and kept me reading, a feeling of dread was in the background creeping up the whole book. The characters weren't really likeable, but didn't have to be to make the story work because after all it's a suspenseful book. It's one of those where everyone isn't what they present and are suspect. Although I liked it and would suggest it for a good escape, it has holes in the plots and I wouldn't read it before bed. ( )

Hollows Edge is a peaceful private community where the neighbors are all friends. That was until a couple on the street was killed by carbon monoxide. The police arrested Ruby for the murder over a year ago. Well guess who comes back after her charges finally got thrown out. What are Ruby’s motives for even wanting to go back to a place where everyone pointed to her as the killer.

With multiple twists and turns this was a great thriller that delves into paranoia. A highly recommended.

I would have loved more of the backstory. ( )

This is my first Megan Miranda book. I loved the book! It’s interesting to see what happens when everyone in your neighborhood is watches you. I honestly can’t stand the characters, but that is what makes the story so good.. don’t want to turn away from a train wreck! There were a lot of twists and turns, but felt a little slow at times. I am glad I read it though.

Thank you Simon & Schuster as I won this from a #goodreadsgiveaway ( )
