Gone, Baby, Gone by Dennis Lehane
3.0
I've determined that pretty much every mystery/suspense/thriller/whatever book I read is going to land at three stars. It takes a lot for these books to break through into the four star range, and I don't think any of them are ever five star caliber.
Lehane, Coben, Grisham, most King, Connelly, etc. They're all fine authors, but all of them have a limit to how great they can be, and they all settle for a decent story that is enthralling at times but ultimately forgettable.
This story was just what I expected. I enjoyed it, but it didn't stick with me or impact me at all beyond just providing a mildly entertaining story.
It may be time to leave this genre alone for a minute.
