Gone, Baby, Gone (Harper Fiction)
Gone, Baby, Gone (Harper Fiction)
The tough neighborhood of Dorchester is no place for the innocent or the weak. A territory defined by hard heads and even harder luck, its streets are littered with the detritus of broken families, hearts, dreams. Now, one of its youngest is missing. Private investigators Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro don’t want the case. But after pleas from the child’s aunt, they open an investigation that will ultimately risk everything—their relationship, their sanity, and even their lives—to find a little girl lost.
Customer Review: Not great
After reading the first couple of chapters of this book, I lost interest, too wordy. Took too long to get to the missing girl. Too descriptive in many pages, gets boring. The very end of the book picked up when we learn where the child is. If it wasn’t so descriptive maybe it would have been a faster read. Maybe too many characters.
Customer Review: Possibly The Best So Far
I’ve read all but one of Dennis Lehane’s Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro PI series and I can definitely see why this one made the big screen. This book has a quirk at the first and end that may seem disjointed but was a wonderful surprise, I won`t elaborate since it should be enjoyed by a reader.
This book, and I`m not a literary scholar by any means, is the best of Lehane`s Kenzie/Gennaro series in my opinion. It takes you through so many different levels of feelings from levity, fun, intrigue, sadness, disappointment, and hope concerninig the human condition that you seem to feel as if you are part of the story as a bystander. Warning, don`t start this book unless you have the time to finish it in a day, it is spellbinding.
