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.

This was my first listen through NetGalley. This story kept me intrigued! I didn’t guess the outcome. Enjoyable listen.

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.

Thank you to NetGalley and Celadon Books for providing this book to me for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
