For fans of Mystic River by Dennis Lehane and Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng, Stephen Amidon's Locust Lane is a taut and utterly propulsive story about the search for justice and the fault lines of power and influence in a seemingly idyllic town. Can anyone be trusted?

Locust Lane gave me all the great fall thriller vibes. I love a book that keeps me guessing from the start through the finish. Eden is dead and the three teens partying with her earlier that night are suspects.
I’m not giving anything away here. I didn’t particularly like any of the characters which made me suspect everyone. They’re well written, just unlikeable. Likening it to Dennis Lehane was accurate, maybe not as good but it definitely had those New England vibes. The pacing in this domestic suspense is tense and it’s well plotted, and I thorough enjoyed it.
