After reading this novel, I've read everything else I could find by Dennis Lehane, love his style! The main characters are private investigators with a lot of history between them.

Dennis LeHane is my favorite author and this book is very well written and a great read. Kenzie investigates the "suicide" of a former client who was perky and full of life when he knew her six months ago. He finds a sadistic stalker is involved.

Great book. Dennis Lehane also wrote Mystic River. This is his fifth book in the Patrick Kenzie/Angela Gennaro detective series. Good characters, set in Boston and surrounding areas.

Another great Patrick Kenzie/Angela Gennaro story. Author Lehane has come up with a suspenseful plot as the investigating team goes up against a pyschopathic stalker.

Lehane writes abnormal psychology books--entertaining abnormal psychology books! I enjoy them because I have lived theyah(the area he writes about)-or there in NON Bostonian English. And I've met a few of his characters in the flesh. Maybe not so over the top? I've met some that were even crazier if possible. His books are just fookin' great! Remember Scott Pearse is not a local character! ps. My husband knew a Scott Pearse but he wasn't like Lehane's nasty fellow! Thanks and keep reading!

This is a great page-turner, with seriously warped characters among both the good guys and the bad. I'll be looking for more from this author.

Spenser with a girl assistant. Good Read

Lehane's book is quick moving and very gripping with a touch of humor.

I really enjoy his writing.

One of Lehane's better efforts.

Great read - dark!

From the back of the book:

Karen Nichols was pert, blonde, in love with her fiance and her life when Patrick Kenzie first met her. But six months later, she jumped naked from Boston's Custom House, leaving behind a downward spiral of drug abuse, depression, and sexual misadventure. She was an utterly different woman - and Kenzie wants to know why.

What he finds is almost incomprehensible: a depraved stalker who carefully targeted Karen and slowly, methodically, exploited her every weakness, stripped away all that mattered to her, and then watched her self-destruct. Now as Kenzie and his former partner Angela Gennaro begin a psychological battle against a master sadist the law can't touch, they discover he's starting to learn their weaknesses, their loves - and he's determined to tear their world apart.

great book!
