fullDescription

"This is a plot that uncovers many secrets, and Campbell treats them all evenhandedly with no hints that give away the identity of the murderer before the mystery's reveal."- AudioFile

For fans of Mystic River by Dennis Lehane and Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng, Audible Hall of Fame narrator Cassandra Campbell delivers an electrifying performance of Stephen Amidon's Locust Lane, a taut and utterly propulsive story about the search for justice and the fault lines of power and influence in a seemingly idyllic town.
On the surface, Emerson, Massachusetts, is just like any other affluent New England suburb. But when a young woman is found dead in the nicest part of town, the powerful neighbors close ranks to keep their families safe. In this searing novel, Eden Perry's death kicks off an investigation into the three teenagers who were partying with her that night, each a suspect. Hannah, a sweet girl with an unstable history. Jack, the popular kid with a mean streak. Christopher, an outsider desperate to fit in. Their parents, each with motivations of their own, only complicate the picture: they will do anything to protect their children, even at the others' expense.
With a brilliantly woven, intricately crafted plot that gathers momentum on every page, this is superb storytelling told in terse prose—a dynamic listen that is both intensely gripping and deeply affecting.
A Macmillan Audio production from Celadon Books.

     October 31, 2022
     At the start of this uneven mystery from Amidon (The Real Justine), Patrick Noone, whose life went off the rails after his teenage daughter fatally overdosed on heroin, hits a dog late one late night while driving impaired in Emerson, Mass. When he tries to tend to the animal, he spots a man hiding in some trees. He thinks little of the incident until he learns that the house the man had been lurking near was the site of the recent bludgeoning murder of teenager Eden Perry, the dog’s owner. Meanwhile, the police focus on three of Eden’s peers: spoiled rich boy Jack Parrish; Jack’s girlfriend, Hannah Holt; and Christopher Mahoun, the shy son of an immigrant. As the suspects’ parents try to ascertain the truth and protect their children, Patrick gets drawn into the case. Amidon doesn’t pull punches in his grim resolution of the murder puzzle, but readers should be prepared for some awkward prose (“The thought of that not happening added another small boulder to the sled of sadness he was tugging through the frozen tundra of his life”). This works better as a character study than a whodunit. Agent: Henry Dunow, Dunow, Carlson, & Lerner Literary.

   • content: Cassandra Campbell narrates this compelling story about murder in an affluent town in Massachusetts. When a teenage girl is found dead in a million-dollar house, it's obvious from her tattoos that she's an outsider. It doesn't take long for the police to focus on three of her friends, and soon they close in on one of them, the shy son of an immigrant. Campbell handles the multiple points of view flawlessly. She is adept at reflecting the dynamics among various characters, expertly portraying men and women, as well as people of different ages and social standing. This is a plot that uncovers many secrets, and Campbell treats them all evenhandedly with no hints that give away the identity of the murderer before the mystery's reveal.
