A review by kenpaul
Small Mercies by Dennis Lehane

4.0

4.5 stars for me so one of the very best of the year so far for me. Seems like a very brave book to write in this political climate. Crazy that race relations doesn't seem a whole lot better almost 50 years later. Have been a big Lehane fan since the Kenzie & Gennaro days, which still represent some of the best private detective fiction ever. I would love to see a new book in that series sometime, or maybe an extended HBO series? Anyway, if he keeps writing anything, I'll keep reading them.
