A so-so book in a pretty good series. Better than most books in the genre. Should finish the series soon.

A decent entry in the Kenzie & Gennaro series. Not the best, interesting and well-written.

I don't have many regrets, but one that I do have is having watched Mystic River when I did.
I had been very familiar with Dennis Lehane at the time, and the opportunity came to see the movie even though I hadn't read the book yet. Call it a weak moment, but I went ahead and watched it. I loved it, and only later realized it is considered his best work.
Of course, I can't read it now, at least until I've totally forgotten the movie.
So until then, I'm picking through his work, and I've very much enjoyed this series so far. I devoured Prayers for Rain. It was great to get back to these characters, especially Bubba, and the story was just complex enough to get the brain buzzing but digestable enough to make this a speedy read.
This isn't the best of the series.

I am really enjoyng this series, Kenzie is an awesome character and I'm glad this book showed a bit more depth to Bubba
I had't heard too much about this book in the series, and was very pleasantly surprised. It had a different vibe from Gone, Baby Gone and others in the series. Very enjoyable, though it was a bit strung along towards the end. Definitely a great series.
