Lehane creates believable and vulnerable characters, even the good guys have their faults. A child has gone missing without a trace, drug money has gone missing too. Are the two connected? And then another child goes missing. This is one of Lehane’s best and can be read without having read his previous novels. Shocking and haunting it will keep you glued til the end.
February 2010 Guest Editor Simon Kernick on Gone, Baby, Gone
A beautifully written and crafted thriller, packed with twists and turns, and containing probably the tensest shootout scene I’ve ever read, as well as several of the most terrifying characters. But it also has real heart, with an ending that is absolutely gut-wrenching.
