Solid book, and solid wrap-up to the Patrick Kenzie/Angie Gennaro series. This book returns to the case from Gone Baby Gone (you may remember the movie). It's twleve years later, Patrick and Angie are still a team, and now Amanda mcCready has disappeared again. Good writing, a bit wistful about how we're all much older now. Things hurt more, people's evil bites more, and it's harder to feel like a good guy if you're a PI. I wish Angie had gotten a bit more to do, but was very interested in Amand

Chi é Dennis Lehane?
Dennis Lehane è uno scrittore di thriller cazzutissimo e bravissimo, che meriterebbe grande visibilità ma che invece, almeno qui in Italia, è oscurato da altri 'talenti' ed è un autore abbastanza di nicchia.

Some of Lehane’s edge is gone in this book. Now that he’s a dad, Patrick is less willing to take chances. But the real weak spot is in the sup ...more

I was in a classics mood, but there was a pathetic selection at the SV Branch Library, so I picked up this book. Since I'd read Gone, Baby, Gone a couple years ago I was already familiar with many of the characters. Lehane is a good mystery writer and he doesn't always do the expected, which I appreciate.

Not bad - I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had of read the earlier books in the series - I didn't realise it was as series until after I started reading.
