It's big and dense (what you expect from Winslow), but so well-written and with such acutely drawn characters that you're through with it before you know it (also what you expect from Winslow). If you're a fan of The Wire (or even hints of Luthor), y ...more

I liked this one even better than Death of a Citizen. I have always been a fan of the Bond books, but I think I like Matt Helm even better. He's even bleaker and more assured of his amoral nature, with just enough humanity for you to root for him. ...more

I came across a recommendation for this series, and as I'm always looking for new crime series to try, I did just that. I found it to be an enjoyable read. There were a few places where the writing didn't "flow" (at least for me), but it had a good m ...more

Dennis Lehane's novels rip the heart and soul right out of you. But you keep coming back for more because the writing is that good. A tremendous moral quandary lies at the end of this novel (no spoilers!), and the reader will ask themselves, "What wo ...more
