Book Overview
A mind-bending, genre-twisting debut novel 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 hebegins 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. Deviously plotted and full of dark wit, James Renner's The Man from Primrose Lane is an audacious debut that boasts as many twists as a roller coaster. But beneath its turns, it's a spellbinding story about our obsessions: the dangerous sway they have over us and the fates of those we love.

Disappointed
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 8 years ago
I had previously read his true crime novel True Crime addict, although I thought he was somewhat of a potty mouth in this book, I was completely disappointed in the last part, really time travel, I will never know how this ends as I did not finish the last part.
Absolutley loved it.

This book isnt your average fictional crime novel where the cops get the bad guy its full of suspense and kept me staying up all night just because I couldn't find a good place to stop. It's a fantastic story full of love, mystery, crime, and time travel.
