Locust Lane by Stephen Amidon
3.75
mysterious medium-paced

A young woman is murdered in an affluent community and three teens are quickly put under suspicion- Hannah, Jack, and Christopher. 
These families are rich and will do anything they can to protect their children, but only one person might hold the answers as he saw a figure in the woods that night... But is a town drunk and may not be reliable. 

So many secrets are being held and when some come to light, I felt it unfairly brought scrutiny out and racist thinking towards one teen. 

I'm not sure how I liked how it ended. I was a bit surprised at who the murderer turned out to be, but I felt I needed a more satisfying conclusion....
The right person needed justice brought on them and it didn't happen.
