Angie and Patrick reluctantly take on a case to find a missing girl. But as usual nothing are as it seems at this case just like many before them will take a toll on them both. In Gone, Baby, Gone you really get a taste of darkness and an overdose of evil. I finished the book a couple of weeks ago...

I just finished this book- like, literally, turned the final page, put it down, and am now writing. So, it's possible that I'm violating some rule of thumb akin to waiting two hours after you eat before swimming or not going to bed angry. However, there's a sort of queasy discomfort I have after fin...

"When a child disappears, the space she'd occupied is immediately filled with dozens of people. And these people--relatives, friends, police officers, reporters from both TV and print--create a lot of energy and noise, a sense of communal intensity, of fierce and shared dedication to a task. But ami...

First time. It’s the first time a thriller has made me cry.I mean, you don’t shed tears while reading these books, you read one then you read another one. But not this one.

Their investigation drags them through a labyrinth of lies, one they will not emerge from unscathed...Sweet zombie Jesus this is some good shit! I think Lehane m...

Dark, gritty, vivid, ugly, some scenes are are truly hard to read and get out of your mind but I could not put it down. Right now it is a 4-5 Star but I may go with 5 Stars, still recovering from the raw finish. The second Lehane book I have read. I recommend you read the Kenzie and Gennaro novels i...

great book. though hard to read if you are a parent. it deals with kidnapping, child abuse, and molestation. but still worth the read.

Kenzie & Gennaro are unusual private eyes - sticking mainly to their old South Boston neighborhood, they know the characters who usually are behind any trouble, and they have local connections that sometimes make all the difference in solving a case. They're also old friends, their relationship dat...

I may have read a more wrenching book at some point.I'm not sure what it would have been.I *may* up this to five stars later. I'm not sure; I never do that lightly.I have Shutter Island on my to-read list, and I've remembered Lehane's "Running Out of Dog" since I first read it a decade ago. I'm go...
