On Locust Lane, in a wealthy suburb of Boston, a young woman is found murdered. The investigation into her murder involves three teenage friends who go to high school together. Their parents all become concerned that they seem to be lying about the night of the murder. The story is told from varying perspectives including the parents of the teenagers and the victim. In addition to the murder, the parents have their own drama and entangled relationships. The book is about the parents as much as it is the teenagers mixed up in the murder. It was an interesting story about the lengths parents will go to in order to protect their children. It also explored power dynamics related to wealth and privilege. Although there is a murder, I would say it's more of a domestic drama than a thriller or mystery. It kept me guessing as to who was to blame for the murder.
