megan Miranda As always a pretty solid summertime thriller. I actually kind of wish This one was a wee bit longer because I think that there was a lot to be mined here in terms of a small community and their secrets. The mystery was actually quite well done although it did get a bit muddy in parts. The characters weren't as well drawn out as I would have liked them to have been hence why I also said I thought it should be a little bit longer. I wasn't fully invested in any of their lives and there was a little bit of confusion for me on some of the relationships. But overall this would definitely be a great be treat and she keeps being one of the best in the genre.

Harper Nash's life is completely thrown off track when her former roommate Ruby walks through the door. A year and a half ago, Ruby was sentenced to twenty years for the murder of their neighbors. With her conviction overturned, Ruby has returned, determined to get revenge on the idyllic neighborhood who all testified against her. Although I've enjoyed her previous books, Miranda's newest domestic thriller missed the mark. With few plot twists and very little suspense, the story was much too slow to hold my attention.

Without warning, she comes back. Hollow’s Edge had always been known as a quiet, idyllic neighborhood where nothing bad ever happened. A place where neighbors celebrated birthdays and graduations together, dropped by to say hello, and always looked out for one another. That is, until the murder of Brandon and Fiona Truett. A year and half later, residents are trapped, unable to sell their homes and forced to face the fact they implicated one of their own. Ruby Fletcher. With her conviction overturned, she returns to the home she once shared with Harper Nash. What good could possibly come from Ruby returning to the scene of the crime? Within days of her return, suspicions once again begin to rise. It becomes clear that not everyone was entirely truthful about the night of the Truett’s murders...

This was my second Megan Miranda novel and, unfortunately, it was not a hit for me. The pacing of this story was an excruciating crawl and I felt like I was forcing myself to read it. Although when I reached the second half of the book, it started to pick up for me and I felt the ending included the shocking twist you would expect from Megan Miranda. But what really killed my rating was how boring some of the characters were, the character of Harper Nash to be more specific. She just struck me as a push over with not much personality or growth. The storyline overall was very creative and I did enjoy parts of the book, but it just wasn’t my favorite. I hope my next experience with Megan Miranda is better!

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Simon & Schuster for the E-ARC in exchange for my honest review!

Megan Miranda brings another suspenseful book which keeps you guessing throughout the whole book. The story setting is in a small community where everyone knows everyone’s business. I mean who has not lived in a community like this. The neighbor’s secrets are slowly revealed throughout the book.
The story starts after a believed killer is released from jail and moves back into the community where the murders occurred. You learn more about each of the neighbor and how they are all tied into the murder which leads to a lot of guessing around the secrets in both the case and the neighbors themselves. The story unfolds and with twists and turns and ends with a plot twist.
The reason I only gave it 4 stars is because at times is because slow and takes away from the story for me.

A small neighborhood where everyone knows everyone turns out to be not as quiet as it initially seems when a couple is murdered and the convicted murderer returns to Hollow's Edge to live with her old roommate. With the entire neighborhood suspicious and uneasy, Harper, the main character, tries to uncover the truth before someone else gets hurt.

SUCH A QUIET PLACE is the definition of a slow burn. The majority of the book is spent creating an eerie mood and peeling back new layers at a snails pace. Though that's not to say this isn't a page turner. For a book where much isn't revealed until the last few chapters, its ominous feel compels the reader to hold their breath while hoping that what will happen isn't as bad as you think it could be.

You'll experience twists and turns and second guess yourself throughout the book, including in the end. If you live in a tight-knit community in real life, after spending time in Hollow's Edge, you might start to wonder how much you know your neighbors and if anyone can be trusted.

Another good book from reliably entertaining author, Megan Miranda. This one is set in a nice neighborhood, with a group of characters that feel as familiar as our own neighbors. Is one of them a murderer? Is it the person everyone assumes it must be? Many hidden secrets and twists make this book a page-turner. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoy Megan Miranda's books, and was very happy to be able to read the ARC of this title. It was an intriguing beginning, and continued at a slow pace - an interesting read. A tight knit community has a double murder, with one of the neighbors sent down for the crime - but, she didn't do it. After a year, she is released, and returns to the neighborhood, unliked and shunned, (she is rather unlikeable!) to find out who actually committed the crime. It was a great read, and I would suggest it to others that like this genre. Thank you.

Megan Miranda's Such a Quiet Place was a book that I could not put down. I did not want it to end. I will be reading more of Miranda's books.

This book was a page turner from beginning to end. Miranda is a master of suspense. A murder takes place in a secluded neighborhood and all answers point to one person. When that person is exonerated and comes back home people definitely do not like it. And then weird things start to happen . I literally couldn’t put this book down and finished in one reading. Amazing character development and integration. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Hallows Edge is a close knit neighbor hood, everyone knows everyone. The neighbors celebrate together share their lives with each other and they have good relationships with each other. But one night, a sleeping couple is murdered in their bed. There is an accusation, an arrest and thanks to all the neighbors putting the pieces needed into place, Ruby is incarcerated.
But 14 months after serving time, Ruby is let out and she has decided to move back to Hallows Edge and live with the same friend and roommate as she did prior to the murders Harper Nash.
Harper had no idea Ruby was coming and is uncertain how this will be looked at by the neighbors. The neighbors are furious and want Ruby GONE! Ruby has no intention of leaving but she does have the intent to make someone pay for the false accusations that locked her up. Ruby has returned with REVENGE on her mind.

Lies will be told, secrets revealed and relationships tested but the truth will come out.

The reader will be turning pages as fast as possible to connect the dots.

The plot is twisty and keeps one engaged right up until the end. Megan Miranda has done it again!

Thank You NetGalley for the advanced copy of this novel in exchange for my honest review.

I'm a big Megan Miranda fan- I've read 5 of her books before this one and loved them all. I was excited to get this one from netgalley.. Unfortunately, this book just wasn't very exciting like her others. I didn't really care about the mystery much and the ending was anti-climatic. It wasn't a BAD book necessarily. It would be a good summer pool read but just didn't live up to my expectations.

Happy day!! I’m excited to share my review of Megan Miranda’s latest book!
Pub date: July 13, 2021

Synopsis: 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.

Review: Wow oh Wow! Megan Miranda does it again with another eery book that leaves you hanging from beginning to end. Every detail, every moment pumped into this one is sure to leave you wanting more and more. The ever so popular neighborhood setting has yet another book out- and this time, you won’t be left disappointed. This quiet, nice neighborhood that’s lakeside has a murder and the supposed murderer has been released? Juicy! This one kept me guessing until the end and I seriously cannot wait for this one to hit the shelves later this summer. It’s going to be so popular! I am thrilled to have been given the opportunity to review for this title. Miranda is truly the master at incorporating setting as a character. Gripping. Bold. And downright intense. Don’t miss it!!

I LOVED Such a Quiet Place! While it wasn't as plot twisty as some of Miranda's other reads, the entire premise and deeper meanings of this book made it absolutely perfect!

Thank you to NetGalley for providing a digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. This is a modern-day game of Clue, a neighborhood whodunit that keeps you guessing and accusing until the end. Hollow's Edge is a close-knit neighborhood where everyone knows your business and keeps tabs on your comings and goings, especially now that Ruby has been released from jail. Ruby is accused of murdering fellow neighbors Brandon and Fiona. Ruby nonchalantly returns to her friend and roommate Harper's home, which catches her off guard and puts her on the defensive. Harper tries to make sense of what Ruby is doing now that she's back, as are the neighbors when they learn of her return. It becomes clear through a community message board and door cameras that everyone has their own story about the night their fellow neighbor's died and that while the finger is being pointed elsewhere, the guilty party will be uncovered.

First off I want to say a huge thank you to the publisher Simon Schuster , the author Megan Miranda, and to NetGalley for inviting me to read and review it, as soon as I saw the email I was like yes please because I had no idea she was coming out with a new book and Simon Schuster has never let me down with their books that they've invited me to read at least when it comes to their thrillers . Plus this is one book I would pick up in a heart beat even if it wasn't a Megan Miranda book, there's something about books that I like when they take place in either a small town or a small neighborhood where everyone seems to know each others business as well as having secrets that are waiting to come out and there's always someone who's willing to go that extra mile to keep them even if it means murder. So set back and enjoy a book that has all of the stuff in it that a small neighborhood has which is mystery, drama, secrets, and it even its every own friendly murderer living in it.

Another thriller by Megan MIranda! This time we are taken to the quiet neighborhood of Hollow Lake. Residents are neighbors and friends and co-workers. When one of them is accused of committing a crime in the neighborhood, it doesn't take long for the others to turn on her. When she is released 14 months into a 20-year sentence and returns to Hollow Lake, the neighborhood goes on high alert. Read Such a Quiet Place to find out what happens when neighbors become foes. Miranda does not disappoint with her latest signature mystery/suspense novel.

This is my second Megan Miranda book and I am pleasantly surprised at how much I like her writing. When I start reading a new author I always hope I like the next book I read, and I did.

Oh Ruby! Ruby moves back to the neighborhood of cliques, suspicions, and attitudes, This is not a neighborhood I ever want to live in or visit. She is released from prison after a short sentence for killing two of the people in the neighborhood. The “real” killer is still out there and she is determined to find them. I didn’t care for the characters in this book as much as the first book I read of Megan MIranda’s. They weren’t built up enough and were not that interesting. Setting that aside, there is a lot of action and enough going on throughout the book to keep one’s interest.

This is a great mystery, enjoyable to read, and is well written. It has a somewhat satisfying ending and makes me want to read another one of her books. Thanks to Simon & Schuster and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this ARC, I always feel honored and appreciative to be able to do this.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for my copy of Such a Quiet Place by Megan Miranda. All opinions are my own.

Megan Miranda has truly mastered the horror genre and I can never wait to get my hands on her books. Such a Quiet Place did not disappoint. It kept me on the edge of my seat the entire read with plenty of twists and turns along the way. My one complaint is that there were so many side characters that I found it hard to follow at times, but this was overall a fantastic domestic thriller.

I’m a fan of Megan Miranda and have read all of her books, but this one fell short for me. The story centers on a close-knit college-town, neighborhood dealing with the aftermath of a double murder. The accused murderer has just been let out of prison due to a technicality and returns to the neighborhood, to the dismay of all the residents.

This had a whodunnit mystery but was more of a sociological examination of people in a neighborhood and the lengths to which they go to protect themselves and their loved ones from perceived threats. There was nothing wrong with this. It just didn’t draw me in and I felt disconnected to the characters and, therefore, not really interested in the outcome.

How well do you know your neighbors? Harper finds out just how far her neighbors are willing to go to cover up their secrets & lies fueled by a little manipulation.

✨ I’m going to make this review short & sweet.

I think this is her best book to date. As always, I was immediately pulled into the story. And a wild story it was. This takes eavesdropping, secrets, friend drama, and manipulation to a whole new level. I really enjoyed Such a Quiet Place. I couldn’t put this book down, and I finished it in one sitting.

Overall rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/ 5 stars
