Welcome to Litsy!

I'm still not sure how to feel about a white man writing about black topics. And how could I as a white person possibly be able to judge? But still, I loved the atmosphere in this book. It's all dark, very dark, and comes with a lot of triggers warnings. It comes with racism, it comes with alcohol, it comes with sexism. It's an uncomfortable book, but that's Lehane writing here.

My #Top20Series list wouldn‘t be complete without Lehane‘s Patrick Kenzie & Angela Gennaro series. It‘s only 6 books but wow is it a great read. Kenzie & Gennaro are private investigators from, as the blurbs say, “blue collar” Boston & the city makes for a fabulous backdrop. What really works is the relationship between the two friends & how it plays out as their detective work gets more dangerous.

Time for a little crime fiction #saturdayreads

I love dennis lehane and this book was sooo good. The action and the suspense! These private investigators do so much work and sacrifice but you can tell they love what they do. Lets just say it was good and i cant wait to read the second book.

This first entry in the Kenzie/Gennaro series was both more violent and morally complex than I expected and is a thriller rather thsn a mystery. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I've been wanting to read this for the longest time, so when it came up in BookBub for $1.99 I couldn't resist. And no, we're not going to talk about my teetering #tbrstack 😁

Kenzie and Gennaro: one of my favorite duos! I particularly love these books because they take place in Boston, and I love anything by Dennis Lehane #GONEBABYGONe
