Locust Lane by Stephen Amidon
Did not finish book. Stopped at 28%.
Sadly this one was a DNF for me, DNF @ 28%, page 90
After seeing early hype for Locust Lane in 2022, I was hoping this one would be a winner. However, I think it is a victim of mismarketing. This is not a thriller, it's a mystery with a character study in family dynamics much like Miracle Creek.
While I loved a character study like Miracle Creek, Locust Lane fell short. I did not care to continue on in this one as the first 90 or so pages were all focused on the parents and some random man. All equally bad and annoying, their characters weren't worth carrying on studying.
I say pass!
