Again, this is just a rating of "Animal Rescue" by Dennis Lehane. I did not read the whole book.

a solid collection of dark and drafty boston stories. the copy editing left a little to be desired but that is, in the end forgivable, thanks to the excellent content.

best read over a hot toddy.

It just happened to be at the library so I grabbed it. Short stories. OK so far, nothing gripping or amazing.

Not very good, Lehane's story was the only one I connected with.

2.5 stars more like. A few stories were great, a couple were ok, the rest I just wasn't sure why they were in this anthology. Will review soon.
