DENNIS LEHANE
I have all of Dennis Lehanes books in paperback and recently ordered them all in hardback. “Prayer for Rain” was the first book of his I read. A friend loaned it to me.

A story with sizzle and suspense – where nothing is what it seems to be.

last of the series

Not Great, Not bad
My first of the Gennaro/Kenzie series, my 2nd Lehane novel. Lehane has a great reputation but after reading this and Shutter Island I have not yet been blown away.
2.0 out of 5 stars

This book was fun to read and well written. Lehane creates colorful characters, and makes them seem extremely lifelike.

A disappointment from Lehane
I was expecting more from Dennis Lehane after reading the epic “Gone Baby, Gone”, the multilayered “Mystic River” and the hypnotic “Shutter Island”.

Another winner
Dennis Lehane deserves all the praise he receives. He is truly a master writer and story teller. He always delivers a well-written, strongly plotted and entertaining story…

Please Dennis, don’t hurt any more animals…
…or I’ll have to quit you now…it’s the admirable hallmark of british mystery writers not to hurt the cat (or dog), or your readers will depart.

A Hodge-Podge (2.75*s)
By far the best thing about this book is the reuniting of Patrick and Angela, who had a major disagreement in “Gone, Baby, Gone,” though their reunion is pretty low-key.
