Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta. I don't really know how I feel about this one...it was good, a little convoluted but I enjoyed it. On the other hand I have no desire to read any other books in the series and I don't know how to reconcile that. I guess if it was that compelling I'd have wanted to read on, but since I don't I guess it was just ok...and thus this one goes to the used book store and out of my life.... ( ![]() I had not read a Kenzie & Gennaro book in years but I did have the final book in the series on shelf and decided to finally get to it. The team had solved a missing girl case, twelve years ago, when Amanda McCready was 4 years old. She is sixteen now and has disappeared again. This is a good solid series and I plan on getting to the remaining 2 or 3, that I have not read. Five stars aren't enough for a book this great. Lehane captivates with his characters and his smooth, flowing style. This follow up to Gone Baby Gone gives the reader every reason to adore the brilliant young woman Amanda McCready has become, despite her tragic beginning. Patrick, the lovable, flawed hero, captivates with his wit and his devotion to do good and right things in a gray area of the criminal underworld. Angie is tough and a beacon for Patrick, always. Thrilling twists and a lot of thought-inducing scenarios make this a must-read. I can't let any of the details out because it's too amazing an experience to ruin. Chilling, heart breaking, heat warming, and even sometimes humorous, this one shouldn't be missed. Han pasado doce años desde que Amanda McCready desapareció de su casa de Boston. Ahora, en plena adolescencia, la controvertida Amanda parece haber recuperado su vida, pero vuelve a esfumarse de repente y sin dejar huella. Los investigadores Patrick Kenzie y Angela Gennaro, ahora padres de familia, deberán revivir sensaciones e intuiciones del pasado prar dar nuevamente con el paradero de la joven. ¿Será posible que la vuelvan a encontrar, aún cuando parece que Amanda está inexplicablemente conectada con un mundo del crimen organizado y turbios negocios al margen de la ley? Well, it seems pretty obvious that it's over. Patrick throws away his gun and gets a regular job, Angie is going to school, and they have a young girl child. I enjoyed this final chapter, though perhaps not quite as much as most of the others. I did enjoy the villains, some Russian Mafia types. I thought the main guy that was after everyone was pretty likable in many ways, even though he was a bit immoral, I think. I'm not totally sure, as the people he worked for were totally crazy, and I'm not sure how much of it he agreed with - certainly not all of it, as we find out. He was pretty funny at times, too. It was a pretty convoluted story, but lots of fun for all, except the ones who died, and perhaps Patrick didn't enjoy having a cigarette put out on his palm. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

Amanda McCready was four years old when she vanished from a Boston neighborhood twelve years ago. Desperate pleas for help from the child's aunt led investigators Kenzie and Gennaro to take on the case. The pair risked everything to find the young girl, only to orchestrate her return to a neglectful mother and a broken home. Now Amanda is sixteen and gone again. A stellar student, brilliant but aloof, she seemed destined to escape her upbringing. Yet Amanda's aunt is once more knocking on Patrick Kenzie's door, fearing the worst for the little girl who has blossomed into a striking, clever young woman, a woman who hasn't been seen in weeks. Haunted by their consciences, Kenzie and Gennaro revisit the case that troubled them the most. Their search leads them into a world of identity thieves, methamphetamine dealers, a mentally unstable crime boss and his equally demented wife, a priceless, thousand-year-old cross, and a happily homicidal Russian gangster. It's a world in which motives and allegiances constantly shift and mistakes are fatal. In their desperate fight to confront the past and find Amanda McCready, Kenzie and Gennaro will be forced to question if it's possible to do the wrong thing and still be right or to do the right thing and still be wrong. As they face an evil that goes beyond broken families and broken dreams, they discover that the sins of yesterday don't always stay buried and the crimes of today could end their lives.
