I agree with your assessment of Lehane... His characters work
well, although I felt Gennaro's reactions at the end of the
novel come as a surprise, that it wasn't led up to well. I
didn't feel the book was too long... In fact I rarely do... I
don't mind paying 6.99 for a 400 page book, but do for a 180
page book... G,B,G is Lehnae's best along with Darkness, TAke
my Hand (which falls under the newly hated serial killer
genre)... I guess it's a pick between which one I like
better.. His portraits of the Boston area are wonderful and
in fact I feel I am there and can picture it (even though
I've only been to Boston once)... I've read all Lehane's
novels and Sacred is probably the worst and I enjoyed even
that... So I hope you enjoy him... He's been met with some
mixed reactions on this list a lot of people say his
characters are contrived...
