Gone, Baby, Gone by Dennis Lehane
5.0
I saw and loved the movie like 4-5 years ago, and they did a fantastic job adapting this book, so unfortunately I remembered almost all of it.
That being said, this book hit me HARD. My wife and I actually got into a fairly heated argument about the ending of the movie (if you've read/seen it you can probably guess) and the book brought those feelings back to the surface. And I gotta say, now that I have a kid.... I'm not super happy about that.
I think this is quite comfortably the best of the series so far (given the ratings of the rest, I don't think that'll change, but I have hope!)
If you have no desire to read this series, do yourself a favor and watch the movie! I think about it often, even before I started reading, and so I'll be watching it myself soon, too.
