We had no warning that she would come back...
Welcome to Hollow's Edge - a picture-perfect neighbourhood where everyone has each other's backs. At least, that's how it used to be, until the night 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. When Harper begins to receive threatening, anonymous notes, she realizes she has to uncover the truth before someone else gets hurt... Someone like her.

This was okay.
I think I would've gotten more out of the book had I read it faster, but the audiobook kind of slowed me down a bit. The audiobook narration was great, but overall I wouldn't exactly call this a Thriller. More like a Mystery with some thrilling elements. It's a good pallatte cleanser, but overall I wasn't all too impressed. Especially the conclusion was lackluster.
Eerie and creepy, I loved the atmosphere as always. Everybody has secrets, you can't trust anyone. Even the first person narrator is hiding something form the reader... I enjoyed it, but have to say it's not Miranda's best work. There was a fantastic plot twist in the middle, but the ending was a bit underwhelming and not shocking as I had hoped.
