Book Reviews of Darkness, Take My Hand (Patrick Kenzie/Angela Gennaro Novels)
Book Review: Disappointed with this second read
Summary: 3 Stars
I really loved A Drink Before the War, but was very disappointed in this one. In fact, it was so depressing, I lost interest and never finished it. It's ok when things go bad once and awhile, but constantly, is too depressing a read to hold my interest. I was really looking forward to reading all of Dennis Lehane's books, because I do like his writing style.
Summary of Darkness, Take My Hand (Patrick Kenzie/Angela Gennaro Novels)
The master of the new noir, Dennis Lehane magnificently evokes the dignity and savagery of working-class Boston in this terrifying tale of darkness and redemption.
Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro's latest client is a prominent Boston psychiatrist running scared from a vengeful Irish mob. The private investigators know something about cold-blooded retribution. Born and bred on the mean streets of blue-collar Dorchester, they've seen the darkness that lives in the hearts of the unfortunate. But an evil for which even they are unprepared is about to strike as secrets long-dormant erupt, setting off a chain of violent murders that will stain everything-including the truth.
In Darkness, Take My Hand, Dennis Lehane gives readers an authentic view of the Boston suburb of Dorchester, the scene of A Drink Before the War, winner of the Shamus Award from the Private Eye Writers of America. Dorchester, a solid blue-collar town with no shortage of good spots at which to sully up to the bar for a beer, is tarnished by a 20-year string of strangely similar killings. Patrick Kenzie, a local, becomes the improbable hero of this tale when he makes it his business to solve the slayings. The characters he encounters in Dorchester, with their distinctive accents and colorful pasts, make this mystery not only thrilling, but wildly entertaining.
