Gone, Baby, Gone is NOT a pick me up. It deals with the atrocities perpetrated upon children, subject matter that is always unpleasant, and that is even more difficult for me to read now that I have 2 young boys. But there is no denying the quality of both the story and writing. The story grabs you at the outset, and doesn't release you until days after you've finished it. It twists and turns in unpredictable ways, features well-developed characters, and contains a lot of personality.
Bottom line---it was a very quick and enjoyable read, and highly recommended for anyone who enjoys detective/crime/mystery stories.

Man, I love me some Dennis Lehane. Gone, Baby Gone was as good as any of his books, though I thought the ending kind of got away from itself. Still good, ready for the movie now.

I'm not sure about this one. Too many kid things to sort out. Well written, but man, this was a tough read.

Graphic: Child abuse, Child death
Abandoned about halfway through. Excellent police procedural, but not my jam.
I like his writing (though I liked Mystic River better), and this is a pretty good one. A pretty typical rogue private investigators story, but still worth reading.
Best of the series so far; worlds better than Sacred.
Dennis Lehane sabe como fazer um bom policial.
Uma criança desaparecida, uma shitty mother, polícias e detectives.
No entanto, Mystic River e Shutter Island estão muito acima deste Gone, Baby, Gone.
Mesmo assim, este livro mostra mais uma vez a sua capacidade de criar personagens intrigantes, que nos evocam um mix de emoções. E a criação de um mistério cheio de perversão, vícios e podridão.
