Overall, Davis’ voice and narration style are well suited to this gritty story.” However, Davis appropriately uses accents for supporting characters. In lieu of portraying them with thick Boston accents, Davis utilizes an effortless, accent-free bantering tone that further emphasizes their smoldering sexual chemistry and lifelong friendship. “Kenzie and Gennaro are likable, multifaceted, dysfunctional smart-asses, so Davis wisely lets their tight dialogue star. “Harsh and chilling…An absolutely terrific story.” The violence of his story is balanced by the grace of his prose and the morality of his characters.” “Dennis Lehane sets off some real fireworks…Old Boston politicos and young Uzi-toting warlords…Lehane handles it all with a veteran’s aplomb. But this is about his novels, andthey are must-read for fans of the genre." If I would have needed another reason to keep reading Lehand (and I didn't) he was one of writing contributors to "The Wire", TX's all-time greatest show. This series is outstanding for all of the above reasons. Not just his plots or his characters, but his use of words and descriptive powers. "Dennis Lehane is a writer extraordinaire. But in Boston, finding the truth isn't just a dirty business. It's about justice, about right and wrong. As Kenzie and Gennaro learn, however, this crime is no ordinary theft. As richly complex and brutal as the terrain it depicts, here is the mesmerizing, darkly original novel that heralded the arrival of Dennis Lehane, the master of the new noir-and introduced Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro, his smart and tough private investigators weaned on the blue-collar streets of Dorchester.Ī cabal of powerful Boston politicians is willing to pay Kenzie and Gennaro big money for a seemingly small job: to find a missing cleaning woman who stole some secret documents.
