From the New York Times bestselling author of The Last House
Guest--a Reese Witherspoon Book Club selection--comes a riveting,
"suspenseful" (BookPage, starred review) novel about a mysterious
murder in an idyllic and close-knit neighborhood.
Welcome to Hollow's Edge, where you can find secrets, scandal, and a
suspected killer--all on one street.
Hollow's Edge use 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 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 Truetts' 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 Megan Miranda's trademark shocking
twists, Such a Quiet Place is Megan Miranda's best novel yet--a
"powerful, paranoid thriller" (Booklist, starred review) that will
keep you turning the pages late into the night.
