TL;DR

Madeline Cash's debut novel Lost Lambs turns a dysfunctional family into a zany, wordplay-rich satire that blends a quirky crime caper with a tender dramedy of parental longing, populated by eccentric neighbors and precocious kids; the book shines in its witty banter and inventive set pieces, including a running gnat gag whose payoff lands emotionally in the extermination sequence.
