The Boston private eyes, Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro, are hired by a dying billionaire to find his missing daughter who has been grieving the murder of her mother. The trail leads them to a religious cult in Florida and more murders.
A good story that hooked me and kept me turning pages, but it’s one of Lehane’s earliest and the threads show. It’s not seamless like his later books are. The dialogue can get pretty hokey too. I like to see an author grow, though, so that in itself is interesting to me.
That said, I read half the book one day and it was bugging me; I read half the next day and it hardly bugged me at all. So it either gets better as it goes, or I gave it break, or what bugged me the first day was all based on my mood. Hah!
