Harper lives in a quiet neighbourhood called Hollows Edge. Set beside a lake and with a private communal pool. It seems peaceful and friendly.
One day Harper is surprised by the return of her old housemate Ruby.
Ruby has just been released from prison, freed by mistrial following a verdict 14 months prior of murdering 2 neighbours.
Why is Ruby back? No-one knows and the wary neighbourhood decide to ignore her. An act made harder by Ruby's efforts to clear her name. One night following a neighbourhood pool party Ruby is found murdered.
The quiet neighbourhood is shocked and confused and it's up to Harper to find out what happened with Ruby now and 14 months ago.
This novel is very well written with complex characters and backgrounds. Harper is a likeable character though niave and lonely.
I really enjoyed this book and it kept me guessing along with Harper as she unravels the truth.
