Summary: Bone Chilling, yet humorous...How does Dennis Lehane do it??
Comment: I've never really had a favorite author until now. Dennis Lehane grabbed my attention with his first few words in Darkness take my Hand and I was hooked! I figured this book was a one time masterpiece. Absolutely not! All of his books are incredible! But this one, this one is my favorite. It was so creepy and evil, yet even when I was scared to death, Patrick "Don't call me Pat" Kenzie said or thought something that had me laughing. It amazes me how Dennis Lehane does this and makes it all work so beautifully. And, you'll love the main characters,Patrick and Angela, as well as the side characters Bubba, Oscar and Devin. You won't be able to stop reading. Bubba. He's the man. You've gotta love him. I've never had the desire to meet a psychopath, but I would love to meet Bubba. If you like his character, there's lots more of him in Prayers for Rain. Read it! Read them all! I guarantee you won't go away disappointed and you'll wait impatiently for the next book to come out. Mr. Lehane, you've got amazing talent. You're the best and I'm a fan for life.

Summary: A powerful, traditional thriller
Comment: Lehane's second thriller is on par with some of James Patterson's best work. Probably only 5-10% of the books I read are ones where I make extra time to read because I can't put it down. This is one of those books. The plot revolves around a serial killer and P.I.s Patrick and Angie.
The cool think about this book is that the serial killer element isn't introduced for 100 pages or so. Most novels introduce all their characters early in a story, but it shows Lehane's strength as a writer when he introduces new characters about 1/3 through the novel and the story continues to flow.
Then Lehane leads us along a thrilling ride full of twists and turns that end up involving characters that all knew each other in some fashion. This book is a lot like James Patterson in that there is a killer who has a personal vendetta against the main characters. Lehane keeps his mystery focused on a group of people who somehow knew each other, and the story doesn't seem far fetched.
There is a lot of violence and a lot of twists. Some authors reveal twists slowly and you wonder the police or FBI hadn't figured it out sooner. This happens all the time in James Patterson stories. Lehane lets the characters discover the truth in a natural progression. The twists don't seem forced.
Lehane actually takes the time to support the twists in the story.
Darkness, Take my Hand is full of gritty violence and a lot of bad things happen to a lot of people. Somehow Patrick and Angie survive it all and even come out on top in the end, although not without some sacrifice on their parts.

Summary: Another Great Lehane Mystery
Comment: I am totally caught up in the series. These books have a lot of great suspense, action and mystery. The only negative is, these books have a lot of violence and sensitive subjects dealing with children.
I really like the why Lehane has developed the characters of Angie and Patrick. This book had a lot of developments in their relationship. Can't wait to read the next one.
