Exceptional short story by Lehane. Another story about good guys and bad guys in a New England setting, but it was a fine book. He knows how to fabricate characters where you can feel their emotions.

An overpriced short story. Good read.

This was a Quick read, but very captivating. The character development and pacing were excellent.

Good book. Quick and fun read. Great ending.

I really liked this one. Short and concise. Not as detailed as some of his earlier stuff, but the plot is great. Characters are few and somewhat underdeveloped. I was entertained the whole read. Nothing boring, just to the point and with it. I recommend this one.

Not the excellent writing I expect of Lehane. A pretty good plot, but doesn't have the meat or complexity of The Given Day, Live by Night or Mystic River. The sentences are short and choppy and the transitions poor. This reminds me of an old drugstore novel, written for someone of a low reading level who wants an easy mystery/crime story. Okay as a script I guess, but not developed enough for a novel. Will be interesting to see the film.
