I received an advanced reader’s copy in exchange for an honest review

I loved this one. Very fast paced, had me turning pages as I tore through it – I had to see how it would end. The characters were well rounded and the narrative felt believable. Gave me chills. Solid five

A fun twisty read. Harper lives in a very controlling community and when two residents are found dead in their home, Ruby is arrested. Well, Ruby is out of prison and is back in the neighborhood for possible revenge. A compelling and creative storyline. Highly recommend.

Thank you to the publisher for an advanced copy.

I was very excited to receive an approval for Such A Quiet Place. All The Missing Girls by Megan Miranda was one of my favorite thrillers of the past. I went into this book with high expectations. Unfortunately, however, I did not enjoy Such A Quiet Place AT ALL compared to other books by the author. I felt the writing was repetitive and lacked luster. I did not connect to any of the characters, and just did not care about the final outcome of the story, or "who-done-it". Sadly, instead of a hit, this was just a big miss for me. I hate to give a negative review to one of Miranda's novels, but I just didn't enjoy this book at all.

Thank you NetGalley, Megan Miranda, Simon & Schuster for this eARC in exchange for my honest review. I have read all of this authors book and have loved all of them. However, I felt like this one was a little darker than the others....maybe it was the characters or the writing approach, but I loved it.

Such A Quiet Place is centered around Ruby who has come back to her small town to clear her name after a mistrial in the murder of her neighbors, the Truetts. Ruby shows up on the doorstep of her old home that she shared with her roommate Harper. Harper and the rest of their neighbors/friends are still suspicious of Ruby. Harper wants to find out her true intentions, but ends up uncovering secrets of neighbors she thought she knew.

This novel is twisty and leaves you feeling a little uneasy because you never really know people. Such a Quiet Place blew me away and just shows how much Megan has grown as an author over the years. I would definitely recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys a good thriller.

Thank you to both NetGalley and Simon & Schuster for providing me an advance copy of Megan Miranda’s latest thriller, Such a Quiet Place, in exchange for an honest review.

This is not my first encounter with Ms. Miranda’s writing, so it was not surprising when I felt the same way I usually do after reading one of her novels: average. This one was a solid three for me as the writing felt a little flat. The characters were neither particularly likeable, nor distinguishable for that matter. The story is told from the perspective of the protagonist, Harper Nash, and kicks off with a message from the Hollow’s Edge Community Page—the fictional message board that appears approximately every two to three chapters along with an illustration.

Such a Quiet Place opens with the antagonist, Ruby Fletcher, showing up at Harper’s door fresh out of prison. I happen to like when there are a lot of characters to keep track of, but due to their blandness or how Harper needs to recap everything the reader missed up to this point, the beginning was a confusing mess.

Fortunately, the story improves around chapter six/seven and becomes a page-turner. The plot is compelling and though the concept of a gated community with secrets is trite, it happened to work well here. Also, I do not often say this, but the book could have benefitted from an epilogue.

In sum, if you enjoy Ms. Miranda’s novels and are looking for a beach read or a quick thrill, then Such a Quiet Place might do the trick.

I love Megan Miranda and the suffocating tension of this thriller that takes place in a neighborhood full of secrets. This kept me on the edge of my seat until the last page. Then as soon as I finished I read it again. I highly recommend this.

Some authors mature with the progression of their writing while others fizzle out. Megan Miranda has fine-tuned her writing, and with her recent releases over the past few years, I’ve seen great growth in her as a writer.

Such a Quiet Place was a thriller unlike anything I’ve ever read before. The crime seemingly solved, and quiet unrest simmering on every page. But, this book blew me away. It left me reflecting on questions like:
-How well do we know people we think we know?
-How often is justice obscured because of withheld information?
-Do I let past convictions taint my view of those with criminal records?
-How do we measure the worth of a man or woman?
-How far are we willing to go to preserve peace and acceptance?
-How do we find solace in relationship when inevitably, we are all humans all too willing to put our best face forward.

I really loved reading this. Miranda wove a twisty tale of mob mentality and secrets kept that hid behind an alarmingly easy read. I finished it both satisfied and unsettled that I could read it quickly and calmly, never prepared for the heartbreak awaiting.

Thank you, NetGalley, Megan Miranda, and Simon & Schuster for this eARC. I devoured it as soon as I had access, and it sure didn’t disappoint. Go ahead and preorder this one and put it on all of your TBR lists. It’s well worth the read! Run, don’t walk, to get your hands on this novel when it’s released on July 13!

This book starts off, and continues, with a story that wraps you up in the mystery of who killed the Truetts. I was glued to this one and found the tale riveting. Ruby, a shady character for sure, returns to exonerate herself of the murder after a mistrial. Her roommate, Harper, is obviously suspicious, as are all the neighbors. So who did kill the Truetts? I guess you’ll have to add this one to your reading list to find out!
