Locust Lane by Stephen Amidon
4.0
It is very difficult to review this book without giving away some spoilers. You really need to go into it with no notions so you can really feel it's intensity and experience the twists.
The first third of the book was a lot of character development. But, by the time I got past the start of the book, it just took off, and I could barely put it down. But also, I needed to put it down and step away at times. It was so intense.
This book was well written. After the first bit, it moved along at a fast pace. Locust Lane was more a mystery than a thriller. A mystery that explores the social ills of our society and the lengths people will go to protect themselves and their families and how wealth and power influence the search for true justice.
This book was definitely a wild ride. Just when I thought I knew the direction things were going in, there was a twist. The end didn't leave me satisfied, but I need everything wrapped up nicely. That is just me. There were a few things thrown in, which led me to hope for a follow-up book though.
Highly recommended for fans of a good mystery, with lots of twists, who can handle a lot of intensity.
