Locust Lane by Stephen Amidon
3.0
I honestly had to sit with this book for a minute to collect my thoughts. At it's core, this is a slow burn, character driven novel about the lengths people will go to support and protect the ones they love. From the synopsis, I was definitely pulled in by the murder mystery aspect and while that was the premise of the book, this was more of a character study I would’ve liked more character development early on as there were a lot of characters to keep track of.
When I got to the middle, especially the 2nd half, the pacing sped up and I was invested to know how this story would end. I listened to the audiobook thanks to @macmillan.audio, which I enjoyed, especially due to the multiple POVs. It was interesting that we see the story through the parents’ eyes and not the teens themselves.
Overall if you like a slow burn mystery this would be a good one to pick up!
