This is one of the mysteries that people are sure to be talking about this year, and it's a great addition to the list of books Celadon publishes. Locust Lane is a character driven mystery that propels readers through the secrets that families and communities are desperate to protect. Told from several perspectives, the story is well paced as readers journey towards truth with the parents of the teenagers who had been with a young woman the night she died. There's a good mix of families with different levels of privilege and means, and what this means for the individuals involved. This is an absolutely haunting story and it's told in an extremely satisfying way, and with a plot and conclusion that are perfect for book clubs and discussion. This is recommended for fans of moderately paced, character driven mysteries and family dramas.
