Such a Quiet Place by Megan Miranda

This story started out slow with the return of Ruby Fletcher after she is proclaimed innocent and released from prison. Fourteen months earlier, this quiet idyllic neighborhood was rocked when the Truetts were found dead in their home. Secrets and suspicions added up, pointing to Ruby, and the only one on her side was homeowner and roommate Harper. But now that Ruby is back and threatening revenge, Harper is afraid for her life.
This was a slow build, describing the neighborhood, the closeness of the community, and the many secrets they try to hide. Everyone seems a little too involved in each other's drama. I was imagining a whole neighborhood of interfering busibodies peeping out the window blinds at each other. This book truly makes me thankful to live in a rural area!
I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. My review is given voluntarily.
