Gone, Baby, Gone by Dennis Lehane
James's review
rating:
A sad, damning book by Lehane. I've started this series out of order, but I want to read more about McKenzie and Genarro, two lovers and private eyes. The movie had grace and power, and the book sets up the two of them in a stronger way than Affleck's film did. Is it right to return a child to its mother, even when that mother doesn't take care of that child? Especially if there is another home, ready and waiting to take loving care of that child? It is an ethical dilemma, not one easily understood by the protagonists.
Lehane's prose is strong and crackles. I want to read every book he has ever written.
