Good writing but it does require suspension of belief

I find it difficult to digest that the police cop and the criminals staked out Amanda's house at the same time.

Absolutely engrossing!!

I had a hard time putting down this book. It raised moral and ethical issues all wrapped up in a tale of mystery and suspense.

The surrounds the disappearance of a four year old who belongs to a worthless mother. What has become of her? Is she dead or alive.

The answers to these questions are answered in the final parts of the book, but the ethical and morality issues dealt with remains with the reader forever.

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.

Moral Questions

This book genuinely surprised me. It took a while to catch my interest at first, but it was good enough to keep me reading. The last fifty pages, though, were absolutely gut-wrenching, in the way you want a book to be gut-wrenching. The characters are faced with a huge moral dilemma, where there is no easy answer, no option that seems palpable, but a decision must be made. Action must be taken. And the rest of their lives, the characters are left to wonder if they did the right thing. And ...more This book genuinely surprised me.

And the rest of their lives, the characters are left to wonder if they did the right thing. And we, as the audience are left with that same question. What is right? Is that determined by popular vote? Lawmakers? Each person individually? If there is absolute morality, where do we find it in those sticky situations that have no easy answer? I'll be thinking about this book for a while.
It contains pervasive language throughout and disturbing images

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.
