Locust Lane
by Stephen Amidon
A rich suburb, a young woman killed, 3 teenagers who know more than they are letting on equals a compulsively readable neighborhood thriller.
TW: parental grief, alcoholism, social inequities, racial prejudice, misogyny, adultery.
There are a lot of characters in this novel but the author takes great care in distinguishing them so there is no room for confusion.
20 year old Eden is found dead in a posh home in the suburbs of Boston. Jack, Hannah & Christopher were there but each of them swear she was still alive when they left.
Patrick, an alcoholic, who finds himself outside the house where Eden was killed at 3am, having just hit a dog with his car. He gets out to help the dog and sees someone standing in the trees.
The parents, Celia, Alice, Michael and Danielle find themselves entangled in the case and their points of view give different perspectives of the situation.
As the story progresses and the perfect lives unfold into a complete mess you really don’t know which character you can trust.
I really enjoyed this read, my first Stephen Amidon book. The ending was perfectly crafted, all tied up in a nice little bow and I didn’t see it coming. I was totally duped.
