He’s done it again. Dennis Lehane has captured and pulled me into his gritty crime-ridden Southie world. Loving the world building: can very much feel the social unrest and anger woven into the interactions between the characters. The characterization is fucking brilliant. And the prose is amazing as always. I’m loving how the protagonist of this story is a middle aged single mother with nothing to lose.
