Most of the book was good. The ending I hated. I felt nothing was resolved, which is frustrating especially when it’s a book about trying to solve a murder.

This was so slow. I had no love for any of the characters. I fell asleep everytime I read this. I Flipped to the end just to get to the point and I still felt disappointed. I decided it wasn't worth my time.

Locust Lane is a mystery thriller that had me turning the pages fast! I was so eager to know where it was headed and who was responsible for the murder. I couldn’t put it down!
The book starts with a man hitting a dog while out on an early morning drive. When he gets out of the car, he’s sure he sees someone standing in the wooded area. Soon we find out that a girl, named Eden Perry, was murdered in a house nearby. The story is told by the points of view of a few different characters who all have some relationship to the murder.
I like this book because I was constantly thinking a different person was responsible. It made the story very exciting.
Locust Lane is expected to be published in January 2023. I recommend it to mystery thriller lovers. Stephen Amidon is an excellent storyteller and I definitely look forward to reading more of his books.
