About this series
“[Lehane has] emerged from the whodunit ghetto as a broader and more substantial talent....When it comes to keeping readers exactly where he wants them, Mr. Lehane offers a bravura demonstration of how it’s done.”
—New York Times
Moonlight Mile is the first Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro suspense novel in more than a decade from the acclaimed, New York Times bestselling master of the new noir, Dennis Lehane. An explosive tale of vengeance and redemption—the brilliant sequel to Gone, Baby, Gone—Moonlight Mile returns Lehane’s unforgettable and deeply human detective duo to the mean streets of blue collar Boston to investigate the second disappearance of Amanda McCready, now sixteen years old. After his remarkable success with Mystic River, Shutter Island, and The Given Day, the celebrated author whom the Washington Post praises as, “one of those brave new detective stylists who is not afraid of fooling around with the genre’s traditions,” returns to his roots—and the result, as always, is electrifying.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I laughed and cried and I was horrified. Wow! Love the Patrick, Angie and Bubba storyline. Old school author who doesn’t use nonsense words to complete the assignment. Knows when to give enough backstory and always weaves the plots together logically. The narrator is beyond excellent. Easy to listen to but very engaging. The accents are hilarious.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent writing. Wonderful suspense thriller…..many twists and turns. Highly recommend this author.
