A review by grettypop
Mystic River by Dennis Lehane

slow-paced

2.0

I liked the premise of the book, but it left me feeling very underwhelmed. We never dive into what really happened with Dave. It's hinted at, but never get any details. The motivations and storyline felt very predictable. I guessed who the killer was pretty early on (because there were only like 8 characters total). And this book was very clearly written by a man for men. The female characters were extremely simple and two-dimensional.

Overall, I didn't feel like this needed to be as long as it was for the amount of plot that happened.
