Earlier today I finished Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane. That was quite a ride! Some really beautiful descriptions of locations and characters, and the way he writes really keeps you on your toes. It's the first book I've read in a while which has kept me hooked until the end. Highly recommend.
Haven't read anything by Dennis Lehane myself but have heard good thing about most of this novels.
This is the first book I've read by him, but I'd love to try out some of his others now. A colleague recommend Small Mercies and I've heard Mystic River is also very good.
Looking forward to your reviews.
Oh and I've also added The Given Day to my wishlist. It might be some time before I get round to reading these!
Don't worry, with my speed and backlog, it will probably be months, if not years before I get to these.
