Title: Definitely not on a par with the Kenzie/Gennaro books
Product review: I am a big fan of Dennis Lehane's series featuring Patrick Kenzie and Angie Gennaro, and I purchased "Mystic River" the day it hit the stands. I was very disappointed with it, and so was a friend of mine (also a fan) who read it. The plot is slow, the characters are seedy, the ending is depressing . . . At the end, I was wondering "why did he write this book?"Save your time and read Mr. Lehane's "Prayers for Rain" instead; it's ten times better than this one.
