James Renner
A mind-bending, genre-twisting debut novel. In West Akron, 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 only as The the Man from Primrose Lane. And on a summer day in 2008, someone murdered him.
Four years later, David Neff is a broken man. The best-selling author of a true-crime book about an Ohio serial killer, Neff went into exile after his wife’s inexplicable suicide. That is, until an unexpected visit from an old friend introduces him to the strange mystery of “the man with a thousand mittens.” Soon Neff finds himself drawn back into a world he thought he had left behind forever. But the closer he 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 his beloved wife and the old hermit.
With a deft and singular blend of suspense, literature, and horror, James Renner's The Man from Primrose Lane boasts as many twists and turns as a roller coaster. It’s a spellbinding journey of redemption and a reflection on the roles of fate, destiny, and obsession when it comes to matters of the heart.

Is there anything you would change about this book?
The book starts out as a pretty compelling crime drama then takes a wild left turn into the land of science fiction. It really feels like the author painted himself into a corner with the story and then used the sci-fi twist to get out of it. I wish he would've just stuck with the crime novel.Would you be willing to try another book from James Renner? Why or why not?
I would. The writing is really good and he tells a compelling story. It's just not the story I thought I was getting/buying.What didn’t you like about L. J. Ganser’s performance?
As a native of Northeast Ohio, it really bothered me when the reader mispronounced several names. For example, there's an exhibition hall in Cleveland called the International Exposition Center. We call it the I-X (Kind of a bait and switch

I can say I'm happy to be rid of it and I'll happy to start a new book.

my head hurts 😞
