Lost Man's Lane

A Novel

By: Scott Carson

Narrated by: Corey Brill

A mysterious private investigator embodies the darkness hidden within a small town in this spellbinding thriller that will “make you a Scott Carson fan for life” (Joe Hill, #1 New York Times bestselling author).

Marshall Miller would’ve remembered her face even if he hadn’t seen it on a MISSING poster.

When a young woman disappears in his small town, the investigation hinges on Marshall’s haunted sighting of her, crying in the back seat of a police car driven by a cop named Maddox.

There’s only one problem: no local cop named Maddox exists.

But the speeding ticket he handed to Marshall certainly does.

Dealing with police and media is heady stuff for a teenager, the son of a single mother, but Marshall is sure he can handle it, until the shocking day when his reliability as a witness implodes. Now scorned and shamed, he finds unlikely allies as he confronts the ancient secrets behind his small town’s peaceful façade—and learns the truth about his own family.

Lost Man’s Lane is a coming-of-age tale that proves why its author has been hailed as “a master” by Stephen King who consistently offers “eerie, gripping storytelling” (Dean Koontz).

Excellent Story

One of the better books of this genre that I've listened to. The story is suspenseful and works on many levels. Many twists and turns...no pun intended!
The narrator is good...my only complaint is that he makes the character of Weller sound like Putty from the Seinfeld show...very distracting!

It kept me interested…

I found myself constantly going back to this book and listening. Like I couldn’t put it down. I really liked the story and the narrator. Definitely different, but I enjoyed it.

The only reason it's not 5 stars...

...is the very slow start. Ultimately, it was a great listen--5 stars for the audio performance. The secondary character of Sean was about the best I've ever heard.

This book really had it all: coming of age; relationships--friends, family, romantic; supernatural/horror; mystery; detective/crime, etc. Great characters and even some humor--I actually laughed out loud a couple of times, which is extremely rare for me.

I read Carson's newest, which also had a teenage MC, and I think this is where he really excels as an author.

Amazing on multiple levels

This was one of the best audiobooks I’ve listened to in a while, a storyline that hits points and ties them all together and wraps it up by the end. Absolutely worth the time.

9/10 Good story !

This was a decent book that I really enjoyed.I truly enjoyed the characters and the twists and turns along the way. Being a Y2K kid myself I couldn't help but to enjoy that nostalgia on top of the already good story. it was like it was written just for me. Wow what a surprise this book was and one of my top 10 for 2024!
