Publisher Description
“[Lehane has] emerged from the whodunit ghetto as a broader and more substantial talent....When it comes to keeping readers exactly where he wants them, Mr. Lehane offers a bravura demonstration of how it’s done.”
—New York Times
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. 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. 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.

"Lehane still has the hard-boiled magic working for him. In this novel, though, the consequences of living la vida loca really come home to roost for Patrick, who is now much older than when last we saw him, and quite a bit more mature. "
— Bernard (4 out of 5 stars)
Quotes
-
“Dennis Lehane is the heir apparent. You read his stuff and think he’s got the great ones—Chandler, MacDonald, Parker—watching over him as he writes every page. But his voice is an original.”
— Michael Connelly -
“[Moonlight Mile] zooms along the express track without sacrificing the emotional punch of Lehane’s previous works.”
— Los Angeles Times Book Review -
“Jonathan Davis captures Angie’s bitterness; the youthful, yet coldly efficient delivery of the brilliant teenage Amanda; the growl of the friendly sociopath Bubba and assorted others, including a genial, self-amused Russian mobster. But his finest achievement is his voice for Patrick, the narrator. It’s world-weary, very definitely Bostonian, and conveys a strength of character that suggests the task he’s set for himself may not be as impossible as it appears. Fans of the series should be more than pleased.”
— Publishers Weekly -
“A fast-paced, heartbreaking story…Moonlight Mile flies at you fast and sinks its hooks into you for keeps.”
— Chicago Tribune -
“Moonlight Mile is yet more proof that the author is as much social historian as mystery writer, and that his true literary forefathers include John Steinbeck as well as Raymond Chandler.”
— Baltimore Sun

" Great, great book...makes me wish Lehane was one of those guys that cranked a new one out every 6 months or so. "
— Joe, 5/23/2011 -
" So glad to see Patrick and Angie back, I was a fan when this series was all Lehane was writing. I love his class-conscious city-loving view of folks who have lived in one place for a long time. "
— Monica, 5/21/2011 -
" Patrick Kenzie just keeps making dump mistakes for a seasoned investigator, but I guess that propels the story along. Here he revisits the Amanda McCready kidnapping case, and boy has she grown up. "
— Tom, 5/21/2011 -
" I liked the book, don't get me wrong. I love this series and the characters but it was not the strongest of the books in the series, in fact it was probably the weakest. The characters were recycled. It is a shame the series has to go out on this note. "
— Derek, 5/16/2011 -
" good sequel to Gone Baby Gone "
— Kathryn, 5/16/2011 -
" Good--but faded a bit at the end. I expected more for the follow up to "Gone Baby Gone"... "
— Cynthia, 5/15/2011 -
" Great book...very raw and lots of violence so be prepared. did not realize it was a sequel to Gone Baby Gone until after I was done! Oops. Planning on reading that next but now i spoiled the ending. "
— Jennifer, 5/14/2011 -
" Good followup to Gone Baby Gone "
— Matt, 5/12/2011 -
" Maybe a 3.5. Dennis Lehane is so reliable! "
— Paula, 5/9/2011 -
" This was actually the first Dennis Lehane book I've read. I enjoyed the crisp writing, great ear for dialogue, the characters are likable and I couldn't put it down. Great story. "
— Andy, 5/7/2011 -
" not as good as some other Lehane ones i've read. <br/>Good twist at the end though. "
— Andrew, 5/4/2011 -

— Kevin, 5/3/2011 -
