Title: A great read.
Product review: The Strangler is a big and captivating story. Set in Boston in the '60s, the story centers on three Irish brothers and their extended families. Born in the Irish section of Boston into a policeman's family, each brother has chosen a separate path - prosecutor, policeman, and burglar. While very different in every way with the rivalries common to brothers, they are still of one family, each affected by their larger-than-life father who was murdered in the line of duty in an unsolved case. The story tracts a period of their lives where each is tested separately with personal choices and face the consequences of those choices. In the background is the case of the Boston Strangler which plays into the story with fascinating impact.Landay has a fine sense of Boston: the neighborhoods, the language, and its unique DNA. He builds his characters expertly, revealing their fears and needs and what drives them. From these parts, Landay produces a rich, complex, and enormously satisfying tale.
