7.12.2021 - Such a Quiet Place

 Such a Quiet Place by Megan Miranda

Many thanks to NetGalley and Simon & Schuster for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest thriller by Megan Miranda - a must-read author for me.  4.5 stars!

It's such a quiet place - who wouldn't want to live in Hollow's Edge?  A lakeside community of mostly young professionals who work at the nearby college and who routinely get together for parties and generally look out for each other.  But when a couple dies and another resident, Ruby, is convicted of her murder, things begin to change.  When Ruby is released from prison on a technicality and returns to the community to live with her former roommate, Harper, things really get tense.  Suddenly, everyone is questioning each other and what really happened the night the couple died.

This is a great who done it - I found myself questioning almost all of the residents at one point or another and was still surprised at the ending.  This is also a cautionary tale about rumor spreading, being quick to judge and the perils of keeping things quiet.  A perfect book to curl up with on a rainy day - I couldn't put it down until I reached the end!
