I’m a huge fan of Megan Miranda ever since her debut, definitely one of my favourite psychological thriller writers, her novels encompassing every facet of human nature.

Such A Quiet Place has such a group dynamic, set in a small, close community of houses – where everyone knows everyone else and the shiny facade of friendship hides much darker secrets. Within this group a killer lurks and it could be any one of them.

I loved this- each character has hidden depths revealed slowly over the course of the novel. The mystery element is beautifully unpredictable, unraveling all the knots, or trying to, is highly addictive and as ever this is a right old page turner.

Intricately crafted Such A Quiet Place is a classic psychological thriller, paced perfectly and compelling from first page to last.

Highly recommended.

Such A Quiet Place, Megan Miranda.

Welcome to Hollows Edge. A beautiful, close knit community where everybody has everyones back... or they did. Until two of their own were found dead and neighbour Ruby was convicted of murder. Freed by mistrial Ruby returns to clear her name, staying with former roommate Harper, but her appearance creates a stir in the neighbourhood. Friends turn on each other and threatening notes begin to arrive.

Megan Miranda has mastered the domestic thriller. Such A Quiet Place captures the slow burning unease and dread that will keep you tethered in.
Each character is both awful and intriguing, trapped inside a beautiful yet horrific little town.
Ruby and Harper are leads who spark off each other and the crescendo of the novel kept the pages flipping, desperate to uncover the mystery. Another solid outing for Megan Miranda.

A great novel.
Brandon and Fiona Truett were found dead...
Two years ago, branded a grifter, thief and sociopath by her friends and neighbours, Ruby Fletcher was convicted of murdering the Truetts. Now, freed by mistrial, Ruby has returned to Hollow's Edge. But why would she come back? No one wants her there, least of all her old housemate, Harper Nash.
As Ruby's return sends shockwaves through the community, terrified residents turn on each other, and it soon becomes clear that not everyone was honest about the night the Truetts died.
This was my first novel from this author and I completely loved it. It's superb.
Thanks to NetGalley and Atlantic Books for giving me an advanced copy.
