Kenzie's character grows and dominates the scene while others are introduced and given enough life to add to the scenes. Paced well with thoughtful passages that didn't drag the story down. Loved the ending on the coast of Maine. Thought the tying to the chairs was a bit much and Gennaro digging herself out of the hole? And again with the ultimate evil villains. So far no ambiguity in DLs bad guys. Still, detective books don't usually rate this high. After I finished the last page I held it up and patted it, thinking "Now this was a good read". Almost a 5. Another winner by Dennis Lehane from the Kenzie/Gennaro series. As I get to know them better, I like the books more, so I plan to continue reading more. This one started out in one direction and veered off into unexpected territory a few times. The only common thread was the weirdness of some of the people. Oh, and Angie's ability to come through and save the day, surprising all who don't know her. It was pretty brutal at times, but the ending was very satisfying and just.
El multimillonario Trever Stone, antes de morir, contrata los servicios de los experimentados detectives Patrick Kenzie y Angela Gennaro para que averigüen el paradero de su hija Desiree, que lleva tres semanas desaparecida, así como la desaparición del primer detective que el multimillonario contrató para localizarla, Jay Becker, mentor de Patrick. Acostumbrados a sobrevivir en las sórdidas calles de Boston, los detectives viajan hasta los embriagadores atardeceres de Florida siguiendo una pista poco fiable, que les conducirá a una tierra corrupta y abonada de mentiras. Avanzar en la investigación es penetrar en un territorio donde nada es sagrado. No hay espacio para el error: confiar en la persona equivocada o dar un paso en falso significa la muerte. Awards
