Before Dennis Lehane got famous with his breakout novels turned to movies, Mystic River and Shutter Island, he wrote a very good little series about a couple of PIs called Patrick Kenzie and Angie Genaro. As each book came out, I fell in love with those characters to the point that I cried at the end of Prayers for Rain because it was apparently to be the last one.
I was among many fans who lamented the loss of a great series and begged the author to bring it back. Now, after more than ten years, he finally publishes Moonlight Mile. This is a book that will have previous fans jumping for joy while at the same time quite obviously closes the door on the series for good...but in a satisfying way.
It was so nice to revisit with Patrick, Angie and Bubba. For me, this series will always beat out Lehane's stand alone novels.
