The Man from Primrose Lane
by James Renner
isbn 978-0374200954
Pub. date 3/1/12
Description: In West Akron, Ohio, there lived a reclusive elderly man who always wore mittens, even in July. He had no friends and no family; all over town, he was known as the Man from Primrose Lane. And on a summer day, someone murdered him.
Fast-forward four years. David Neff, the bestselling author of a true-crime book about an Ohio serial killer, is a broken man after his wife’s inexplicable suicide. When an unexpected visit from an old friend introduces him to the strange mystery of “the man with a thousand mittens,” David decides to investigate. What he finds draws him back into a world he thought he had left behind forever. And the closer David gets to uncovering the true identity of the Man from Primrose Lane, the more he begins to understand the dangerous power of his own obsessions and how they may be connected to the deaths of both the old hermit and his beloved wife.
One look at this creepy cover and I knew this was going to be my kind of book. It is.
The characters are interesting and quirky as is the mystery. The story instantly drew me in and kept me guessing. The twists and turns of the plot are in many cases unexpected and surprising.
The author is an investigative reporter. He uses that same sort of writing technique in the novel to give it details and depth, except this with this novel it’s purely fiction!
