Title: A Sad dissappointment
Product review: Prior to this book, Lehane was my favorite author, "Darkness, Take my hand" being my particular favorite. This book, however, felt incredibly forced and was, I'm sorry to say, totally predictable. I understand that the loss of someone you love is incredibly tough, but he milks that pain like you wouldn't believe. It was describes so much that the reader (or at least I), become numb to it. I'm sad to see such a great writer become so bogged down.As an interesting note, I've heard that Lehane's publisher likes this new kind of "stand-alone" novel and asked him what it would take to write more like it. So it appears we may not see Patrick Kenzie (his character from previous books) for a while (or, god forbid, ever). Here's hoping his next effort is better.
