Title: Superb thriller....recommended for first time Lehane readers
Review: This was my first Lehane book (I have since read the rest) and I fell in love with him, the story and the characters. I am a fan of realistic, gritty neighborhood stories be they in Boston or New York or New Orleans or wherever. The relationship between Gennaro and Kinzie is utterly believable (and I have had a problem in the past with male authors writing in a woman's voice)and realistic. Be forewarned: this book is darker than the others in his series, especially the subsequent ones. It is scary, morally complex, and graphic. It is also filled with a wonderful cast of characters from Gennaro and Kinzie's neighborhood, especially "Bubba". Those who have never read Lehane but enjoy a gritty neighborhood thriller, wait no longer.
