I have read a couple of Dennis Lehane books and have always felt like I could take or leave them. Monlight Mile was no exception to this. Good read, but nothing that stands out and gives *BAM* moments. I don't know if I am the only person to feel this way, but, in my opinion, Lehane books come out b...
I was excited to read this follow up to Gone Baby Gone, which takes place 12 years later. Kenzie returned Amanda to her less than maternal mother, who continued to neglect her daughter over the years. The story begins with the aunt once again contacting Kenzie to find Amanda who has been missing for...
Moonlight Mile is my first foray into Dennis Lehane's repertoire, and I can now understand the attraction. Dark and gritty, he excels at presenting life in the darker, more illicit levels of society. His use of a moral morass to propel the story is as realistic as it is compelling. The end result is...
I revisited Gone, Baby, Gone before reading this one, and I'm glad I did. All the particulars were fresh in my mind, so Moonlight Mile was just a continuation of the story for me, with no confusion. It's been 12 years, and everybody's wondering what ever became of Kenzie and Gennaro after they found...

When he was able to found her, he was faced with a decision of following the law or returned the child to an unfit mother. Patrick decided to do the first; a decision that resulted in a big break up between hi...
A worthy sequel to Gone, Baby, Gone. It was so great to catch up with two of my favorite detective characters again and see how they have changed and weathered the years. The plot did show some strains at times but I thought everything was wrapped up well and the ending hit all the right notes.
A serious case of mixed feelings. There are recurrent ham-fisted attempts at humor which threw me right out of it, annoyed me no end. At one point, narrator Patrick Kenzie snaps that some "Sylvester-Stallone-in-Nighthawks" bad guy needs to watch his ass, and I groaned. If I wanted to watch Dennis...
Dennis Lehane returns to the world of Boston PIs Patrick Kenzie and his partner, now wife, Angie Gennaro. He returns also to themes of parents and children that informed the five-book series Lehane produced in the 1990s. In Moonlight Mile, Patrick and Angie are themselves parents. Patrick is still w...
