This book is enjoyable because it doesn’t have an axe over the MC’s necks at every point like some of the others and it also gives us what most of us wanted all along: Patrick and Angie are now happily married with a family of their own. Although action-packed and compelling, it’s not the nail-biter we’re become used to from Kenzie and Gennaro. Lehane is kind of a monster, making us wait eleven years for this story but it was completely worth it, I swear. SPOILER ALERT – If you haven’t read the previous books in the Kenzie-Gennaro series yet, you may want to skip this review and the prior, Prayers For Rain, as both contain spoilers. After his remarkable success with Mystic River, Shutter Island, and The Given Day, the celebrated author whom the Washington Post praises as, “one of those brave new detective stylists who is not afraid of fooling around with the genre’s traditions,” returns to his roots-and the result, as always, is electrifying. An explosive tale of vengeance and redemption-the brilliant sequel to Gone, Baby, Gone-Moonlight Mile returns Lehane’s unforgettable and deeply human detective duo to the mean streets of blue collar Boston to investigate the second disappearance of Amanda McCready, now sixteen years old. Moonlight Mile is the first Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro suspense novel in more than a decade from the acclaimed, New York Times bestselling master of the new noir, Dennis Lehane.
