Michelle's Reviews > At the Quiet Edge

The book started off really strong with a solid story that kinda gave me Stillhouse Lake Series vibes except the husband was not a lunatic serial killer. We have our MC, Lily and her son Everette, living in an apartment on the storage unit facility grounds that Lilly manages. Lily's ex-husband is on the run after he stole millions from unsuspecting clients leaving her in debt and the town pariah.

The first third of the book was interesting as we get to know the characters and the background of lily's story. Then it went downhill from there and the story began to get bogged down by repetition. The MC kept repeating the same thing over and over with nothing much happening. It got so bad that at one point I was ready to throw my kindle across my office. Not only was she annoyingly repetitive, she also had the common sense of a tomato. In fact I think a tomato was smarter.

Our last third of the book was not a surprise and the twist was obvious. How she didn't see it is a mystery to me. Oh yeah..because she has the common sense of a tomato.
